Molly Sampson found an Otodus megalodon shark species tooth at a beach near her home in Maryland while hunting for fossils
For Christmas, nine-year-old Molly Sampson and her sister Natalie, 17, asked their parents for one thing: insulated waders, to “go shark’s-tooth hunting like professionals”,When the waders arrived from Santa, Molly told the Guardian, she declared that she would be looking “for a Meg”, or megalodon tooth, and ventured to Maryland’s Calvert Beach to hunt fossils on Christmas Day with Natalie and their father, Bruce Sampson.
The megalodon was regarded as one of the largest sharks in the world, and possibly the largest fish to ever exist, growing to more than 66ft in length. “She has always wanted to find a meg, but for whatever reason, she spoke it into existence on Christmas morning,” Alicia said. “Her find is wonderful because she has an interest in paleontology and this will propel her and others her age to explore the sciences,” Godfrey told CBS.“[They’re] from a long time ago. They’re cool. They’re old and historical.”
