An eight-year-old boy on a fossil hunt with his family discovered a large fossilized shark tooth while digging through gravel and dirt.

The boy's family had stopped by Palmetto Fossil Excursions, an educational fossil-hunting facility in Summerville, South Carolina, when he made the amazing find.

According to the facility, the boy found a 4.75-inch Angustiden tooth in one of their premium gravel layer piles.

'Any Angustiden over 4' is the equivalent of finding a 6' Meg, and an Angustiden at 4.75' is the equivalent of finding a 6.5' Megalodon tooth!!'

'Again, congratulations kiddo! Truly the find of a lifetime!!!' the fossil hunting facility said in a Facebook post.

The boy, Riley, was walking around the bases of piles of gravel and dirt and came across what looked like the edge of a tooth, his father Justin Gracely explained to Fox News.

'We are so proud of Riley,' he added.

Palmetto Fossil Excursions reportedly explained the significance of Riley's find because of its 'species, size and condition.'

Otodus angustidens is a species of mega-toothed sharks that lived during the Oligocene and Micene epochs about 33 to 22 million years ago. The sharks are known to have grown to at least 31 feet long.
