It is extremely well known for producing authentic fossil Megalodon teeth from rich river and coastal deposits. Megalodon teeth from this region are highly collectible due to their strong preservation, attractive natural color variations, and connection to one of the most productive fossil hunting areas in the southeastern United States. Most, if not all of these teeth, are found in pitch-black, gator and shark-infested rivers, and are often found by feel instead of sight alone. Divers have to navigate ripping currents, downed trees, and other debris with just inches of visibility in about 40ft to 80ft of water, making it dangerous to discover some of these amazing and well-known fossils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCollectors often seek out\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eBeaufort Megalodon teeth for\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003etheir classic Lowcountry provenance, strong display appeal, and long-standing reputation in the fossil community.
