THESE giant creatures would put Jaws to shame.

The fossilised teeth of a “large, humungous shark that roamed the ancient seaways approximately 15 million years ago” have washed up on beaches in North Carolina after recent storms, notably Hurricane Joaquin, dredged up the bones from the bottom of the ocean floor.

The teeth come from the prehistoric relative of the modern day shark, known as Megalodon.

A six-inch tooth found in the fossilised-shark hotspot came from the mouth of a 60-foot Megalodon, which is equal or bigger in size to a school bus.

“Oh my God, I felt like I was a lottery winner or something,” Denny Bland, who found Megalodon’s teeth, told WITN.

“It’s like I’m the first one to touch that since it fell out of his mouth back in the day.”

The teeth have been found in record numbers this month.
