An 11-year-old boy named Ben found a fossilized tooth of a megalodon, a giant prehistoric shark, on the beach in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. The discovery was made on August 11 while walking with his father. Scientists believe the tooth may have been brought to the shore by sand from the ocean floor during beach replenishment work. Megalodons are estimated to have reached lengths of up to 18 meters and weights of up to 94 tons.
