A middle school girl stumbled upon a buried treasure while spending her spring break on a beach in North Carolina. Avery Fauth and her family love to scour the sand for shark teeth whenever they’re on a beach. But Fauth attributes her recent prehistoric find — a megalodon shark tooth — on North Topsail Beach to luck. According to a study published in March, the giant shark spent millions of years sharpening its teeth to become a better predator. That study also hypothesized that competition from the great white shark contributed to the megalodon’s extinction.
