North Carolina Coast is hot spot for prehistoric Megalodon shark teeth WTVD Staff
The North Carolina coast is known for many things but, for divers, it is well known as a hot spot for finding giant prehistoric Megalodon teeth.
Marine Biologist and owner of WB Diving, Chris Slog, spoke with our sister station WTVD about the rare find.
“The teeth have been found all over the world, but not in the concentrations we’re finding here,” Slog said.
According to Slog, North Carolina specifically Wilmington is lucky to be one of a few places in the world that can be labeled a hotspot for the teeth.
