Kingdom of the Megalodon The Ultimate Guide to Hunting Giant Shark Teeth and Prehistoric Fossils Along Florida’s Gulf Coast By Joseph P. Garland Jr. Beneath the beautiful beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast lies a prehistoric treasure millions of years in the making. Long before modern Florida existed, the region was covered by warm tropical oceans filled with incredible creatures. Giant sharks—led by the legendary Megalodon, one of the largest predators ever to swim the seas—ruled these waters. When these ancient animals died, their teeth and bones settled into the ocean floor, eventually becoming fossils hidden beneath layers of sand. Today, those relics are still being uncovered. Every year fossil hunters walk the beaches and rivers of Florida discovering shark teeth, Megalodon fossils, and Ice Age bones that have remained buried for millions of years. In Kingdom of the Megalodon, author and explorer Joseph P. Garland Jr. takes readers on an unforgettable journey into Florida’s prehistoric past while revealing the best locations and techniques for fossil hunting along the Gulf Coast. This fascinating guide combines science, adventure, and travel to help readers uncover one of the most incredible natural treasure hunts in the world.
