Megalodon bite force was terrifying (tooth shear damage)
Occasionally I find fossil megalodon teeth like these with obvious shear damage. These teeth were cut or sheared almost in half by colliding with another tooth in the megalodon's mouth.
The thought of being able to cut your own teeth proves that nature, was indeed, metal.
Color variation across these fossils is pretty cool by itself, determined by the minerals present during the fossilization process.
