Fossil White Shark Tooth
The Great White Shark: an apex predator known around the world that dominates the ocean with its ferocity. This species has existed for millions of years and evolved into a deadly hunter as it spread through the global seas. It is though, still only an animal, not a monster like blockbuster movies might make some believe. The shark does not hunt with malice, but that doesn’t make its methods any less brutal.
Recovered from Miocene epoch deposits in Peru, this specimen comes from an ancestor species of today’s great white shark. C. hastalis and C. hubbelli had similar tooth shapes with varying degrees of serrations suggesting a clear evolutionary path from early mako sharks. The estimated age is 5-8 million years old.
The specimen comes in a classic, glass-topped riker box case measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card is included, also serving as the certificate of authenticity.

Please note: Tooth shapes and colors vary widely with this specimen. To protect the specimen during transit every tooth is individually wrapped. On receipt, simply open the top of the case and unwrap the tooth and then arrange the tooth inside the case as pictured here on the site. We also recommend placing the bubble wrap under the soft, white lining of the case. This extra padding will keep the tooth snug in the case after the lid is secured.
