yea but in the alapaha sharks haven't been there for thousands of years.. maybe they just washed in.. crazy..

While it's most likely that those teeth have been there for hundreds of years, the teeth of the bull shark may not. I'd imagine it's possible, during flooding, that bull sharks can make their way up the Suwannee and traverse into the Alapaha River. They can obviously make their way up the Suwannee any time but I'd guess the timing would have to be just right for one to make it into the Alapaha.

actually bulls are the only shark that can not only swim nut live in freshwater due to a saltwater gland that produces salt and they have been found 1000 miles or more up freshwater rivers and all the way up the mississippi into illinois and such

More like thousands of years... Or more...
Sharks teeth turn that slate grey / black color after they have become fossilized.
Those shark teeth could have bitten into cavemen!
