Massive super-sized dinosaur teeth wash ashore on beaches

Locals in North Carolina, USA, were stunned to make the find along their coastline on the weekend.

They have appeared after heavy rainfall and high tides caused by superstorm Hurricane Joaquin, which battered the east coast of USA earlier this month.

Danny Bland found a fossilised tooth on one beech.

He said: "Oh my God, like I said, I felt like I was a lottery winner or something.

"It's like I'm the first one to touch that since it fell out of his mouth back in the day.

"I couldn't have gotten a million dollars and been any happier.

"Even the small ones, if you see a small shark's tooth, it just excites the heck out of you."

In June, Britain's oldest dinosaur fossil — a backbone that dated back to the Middle Jurassic Period — was found on a beach at Whitby, North Yorkshire.

And last year, a new species of titanosaur was unearthed in Australia. Experts said it was the largest animal to have ever walked the Earth.
