   I go to Myrtle Beach every year.  The junk shops there have a lot of
   shark teeth for sale, mostly small ones.  Of course a few large ones
   are for sale also.  I have found a few small teeth by looking diligently
   in the beach sand.  However, I don't know where most of the teeth that
   are for sale are found.  There is a good Cretaceous collecting site near
   Myrtle Beach, but I have not had a chance to visit it.
