My son was very fond of a couple of things when he was growing up, one of which was sharks. And my husband’s father was the head of the science department at Joliet Township High School, and he had quite a collection of fossils and other assorted things, and in that collection was this. It’s a megalodon shark tooth. It probably belongs in a science museum, but I think I am going to put it into the Cabinet of Curiosities of the Wells Family.
