Finding the rarest Megalodon Shark Teeth in the World for you!

At over 60 feet in length and weighing over 50 tons, C. megalodon was without a doubt one of the largest and most terrifying predators to ever exist.

 It was literally,

 The Apex Predator, The Top of the Food Chain.

Megalodon sharks lived from about 25 million years ago to around 1.5 million years ago. Megalodons had enormous teeth that grew up to seven inches in length. These razor sharp teeth were used to attack and devour ancient whales. In general, all shark teeth are highly evolved, being perfectly adapted for the shark's prey. Because Megalodon preyed upon whales, their teeth were massive and sharply serrated like a steak knife - an adaption which allowed them to easily cut through the meat and bones of giant whales.

A team of scientists led by Stephen Wroe conducted an experiment in 2008 to determine the bite force of the C. megalodon and concluded that very large specimens were capable of exerting a bite force of up to 40,131 pounds per square inch (over 5 times greater than that of T. Rex), arguably making the giant shark one of the most formidable and powerful predators to have ever inhabited the oceans.

Megalodon teeth were also extremely robust and solid allowing them to bite into whale bone without breaking. During their lives, Megalodons had teeth that were a bright ivory white color just like our teeth. Fossil Meg teeth however come in a variety of beautiful colors. Over millions of years of fossilization, the white enamel becomes mineralized, taking on the characteristic colors of the minerals surrounding it. By far the most common color is a dark grey color typical of teeth found in South Carolina rivers and some other Southern areas of the United States. Rarer colors include Reds, Blues, Greens, Yellows, Oranges, Black and combinations of these colors. Ivory colored Megalodon teeth typically come from phospate deposits, while other colors are usually found in Rivers. The more unusually colored teeth are much rarer and command significantly higher prices than the more common colors. Also, because high quality teeth over six inches in length are both rare and in high demand, these monster teeth command much higher prices than their smaller cousins. In fact Meg teeth over 5 inches in length tend to increase exponentially in price with increasing size.

Vito Bertucci (MEGALODON MAN)

May he rest in peace knowing he was the King of Megalodon Shark Tooth Diving.

Savanah Georgia

October 20, 2004 

After nearly a week of searching, the Bryan County Sheriff's Office says a fisherman discovered the body of 48-year-old Vito Bertucci of Port Royal Thursday morning when it surfaced in Ossabaw Sound in Chatham County.

The Coast Guard says 48-year-old Vito Bertucci from Port Royal went diving in the Ogeechee River near the Inter-coastal Waterway in Bryan county about 2:30pm Sunday and told his partner he would surface in about 2 hours, but never came up. The Coast Guard says the friend in the boat reported the diver missing about 5:00pm Sunday.

Search teams with the Coast Guard, Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Chatham and Bryan counties scoured the water for him Sunday night and Monday. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Bryan County Sheriff's Office Marine Rescue Squad and a Beaufort Volunteer Dive Search crew continued looking for Bertucci Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Local divers say Bertucci is an experienced diver, and he was collecting Megalodon sharks teeth for a museum he operated in South Carolina. Some divers also say he took a deadly risk diving in a 10-feet current. Dive teams say it was an exhausting search in the Ogeechee River, in an area one diver described as a black hole.

"There's a deep hole there and there's a lot of debris in that area. There are trees and what not, nets and stuff, crab traps and crab floats, that type of thing. Anything is possible," said Sgt. James Shelton with GADNR.

The DNR says Bertucci was looking for fossilized Megalodon shark teeth and whale bones and he was wearing weights so he could search the bottom of the river more easily. He was searching in what divers call black water. With all the sediment churned up, divers say it's a very dangerous experience because you can't see anything, leaving divers to feel their way around.

"You can't see anything except what's underneath your light on your belly," said Ralph Neely, a master diver trainer with Zero Gravity in Savannah.

Neely says he knows Bertucci, and he was weighted down with more than 140 pounds of equipment.

"This man's never going to float, not going to happen," said Neely.

Neely says with 30 years diving experience he would have never gone diving in Sunday’s 10-feet current.

"Think about what it takes to chase the Atlantic Ocean up a wall ten feet. He could have had a heart attack. This hole he was in, the man that found it Terri Lee, he's been in and out chased by bull sharks. A lot of bull sharks like to hang around there," said Neely

Neely says he’s gone looking for artifacts himself and loves the thrill of discovery.

"You find fossil Megalodon sharks teeth between 8 and 11 million years old, that's fascinating. It's not eccentric. It's addictive," said Neely.

The Department of Natural Resources says Georgia law only requires divers to put up a flag to mark their dive and for boats to stay 100 feet away. The DNR says certification is only required to fill oxygen tanks.

Kelly Kennedy  - February 8th, 2010

An Excerpt from his Eulogy:

 He made you feel comfortable and at ease.  He had a certain calmness about him.  When you're close to him, you feel completely relaxed, not to mention he had a way of making you smile!  I don't really consider Kelly as a human.  I consider him as an EARTHLING - of this Earth, the Ocean, the Air, Nature, Animals... He was one with all Creation.  WAY beyond sort to speak "The Norm."  If we sat and listened to everything Kelly shared with us, we would realize that there was a lot he was teaching us and a lot we could learn from.  You just needed to listen.  He was more than just talented, he was a true genuine GIFT that we will hold and treasure forever and I thank God to have been given the opportunity to have known such a true and genuine soul.

May your spirit rise and be lifted up into the Heavenly gates and Sail Free into the Light for all Eternity!
We Love You Kelly - See you on the other side!
