NEAR SARASOTA, Fla. (WSVN) — A 16-year-old boy from Wyoming made a prehistoric find off of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Aiden Andrews came across a six-inch megalodon shark tooth last week.
Andrews and his father Brian were on a guided dive through a fossil-hunting tour company known as Fossil Junkies in Manasota Key near Sarasota, when the teen discovered the tooth.
Experts say a tooth of that size is a rare find.
Scientists believe the largest megalodon reached about 60 feet and weighed up to 50 tons.
