6.3" long and 4.7" wide.  Nicest over 6" tooth tooth I have found in years.   For comparison only about ten 7" teeth have ever been found and most are in really rough condition.  

That's incredible! 

How deep was it sitting - was it embedded in mud and stuff?

It was funny.  The water was 49 degrees so I was really cold but the visibility was good.  I dove about an hour and was not finding anything good.  I had on really thick gloves so it is hard to feel anything.  I still dig and dug up a 4-1/2" pretty nice  tooth and thought at least that is something.  Then I saw a second one.  As the currents rush through they wear out the bank and expose new fossils but I have hit this area pretty hard over the last few months.  With two teeth I knew it was a recently exposed area and I pulled out a reel and started to run a line so I could find the area easier later.  About ten feet away it was completely exposed and I screamed like a little girl.  I usually do not get that excited but man I knew it was an incredible tooth.

When I was on the boat I showed a photo to a friend that likes these and is pretty successful in business.  He wanted to buy it.  I said I did not know I really wanted to keep it awhile but he threw a number out that was 20% higher than retail so I could not refuse.  I do not want to jinx it plus I do not want to tell his business.  Plus it might seem like bragging and we don't do that here at the Geek Club.  Also he has not paid yet and I am happy to hold it awhile if he changes his mind.  But he asked for all the photos of me holding the tooth si he could keep them with it so I think he will. 

I have one that is 6.92" long and perfect that I kept so I did not mind letting this one go.

Yesterday I found the nicest Meg tooth I have found in over 3 years and sold it before I was off the boat.
