Greetings,

This is my first post and I'm not even sure this is the right section of the forum to actually post this but hopefully the amazing community on this site will be able assist me in some nature.

I am a graduate student who is working on a project relating to c. megalodon and their global distribution and I have hit a bit of a wall finding data. While I do have well of samples to begin with, mostly from the US Atlantic and Pacific coasts and Pacific South American coast, what I am lacking the diversity of localities that the project requires. What I am hoping is that members of this community can either contribute samples to expand my data set or at least point me to individuals who could help.

I am not looking to purchase any teeth, all I need to run my analysis are photos of each tooth with a scale bar, which theoretically makes gathering samples easier. Though I have reach the limit of my ability to gather photos myself so I am turning to the fossil hunting and collecting community.

Again, I'm not sure if this is the right section of the forum to submit this request so if there is somewhere else it should be please feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
