A few too many teeth
Would you believe that you were looking at a jaw that held 526 teeth? To quote the surgeon who removed them from a 7-year-old boy in India,
"There were a total of 526 teeth ranging from 0.1 millimeters (.004 inches) to 15 millimeters (0.6 inches). Even the smallest piece had a crown, root and enamel coat indicating it was a tooth." The teeth were in what the doctors call a sac.
