A hunt for shells turned into a huge find at Egmont Key.
While walking along the beach Sunday, a 9-year-old boy found a fossil from a shark that would intimidate jaws.
As reported by our partners at the St. Petersburg Times, Grant Johnson found a 5-inch-long, 4 1/2-inch-wide shark tooth.
It belonged to a megalodon, an extinct relative of the great white shark.
Researchers said these teeth turn up often along the southwest coast of Florida.
Grant said his find will go in a display case at home.
