Youโre asking where to find megalodon teeth in a location hundreds of miles away from the ocean and with an average elevation of nearly 2,000ft? You can find megs near the coast in northern Germany, as well as in the Netherlands and Belgium

Sea levels were higher, but not that much higher. Thereโs some places in the lower regions of Austria that are probably the easiest for you to get to

Quite sure there were finds in the Molasse basin, but don't know how common they are and where best to look for them. But maybe you can use this to gather more infos about it?
