SHARKSTEETH.COM

One of the pioneers of shark tooth web sites on the Internet since 1998. We have been providing other dealers, stores and collectors with sharks teeth for 16 years.  Our collection is immense and our product is 100% guaranteed to be exactly what it is stated on our site or your money back. We carry partial teeth , restored, commercial and collector grade shark teeth. We also carry shark teeth from around the world such as South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia ,Georgia ,Florida, California, New Caledonia, Chile, Peru ect....

We go on to Guarantee that if a Megalodon tooth is restored it will be labeled as so  . If it does not say restored there is no restoration.  You will see other sites that will not state restoration, Especially auctions ! You will see on your search for the right megalodon that some dealers will condone restored teeth .This is probably because they dont have the facilities or artistic talent to restore teeth. There is nothing wrong with restored teeth as long as the seller states that it is restored. If you buy a restored tooth it will also go up in price with the market as long as you bought it at a reasonable price.  Again be very careful of auctions and sellers that only have a few years experience with fossil shark teeth. Here you can expect to get exactly what you paid for .

 Any questions please feel free to email me at sales@sharksteeth.com

Vito Bertucci (MEGALODON MAN)

A good freind that alot of people are going to miss.

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 Intercoastal 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 artifacts for a museum he operates 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 sharks' 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 these things 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.
