Authentic fossilized Negaprion sp. Lemon Shark tooth, 1.3 cm length, 6 million years old, Miocene, USA

RON 24,99

Authentic fossilized Negaprion sp. Lemon Shark tooth specimen from the USA, approximately 6 million years old, in a plastic box. A very old tooth from a fearsome predator!

Sharks have a vast number of teeth arranged in multiple rows, which are replaced frequently throughout their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of enamel and the extensive period they have existed, makes fossilized shark teeth commonly found across various parts of the globe.

Due to the age of the specimen, the tooth may have imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) that are perfectly normal and inevitable, but it is, overall, in good condition, with the enamel layer almost intact. We invite you to carefully study the product photos to identify the natural imperfections and any repairs to the specimen.

Description

The lemon shark is a species of shark that has lived from the Miocene epoch, 23 million years ago, to the present day. It is a sociable shark that lives in groups and gives birth to live young. The name "lemon" comes from its yellow color.

A marine predator, it feeds mainly on fish and is not considered a danger to humans.

It can reach up to 3.4 meters in length. Its teeth feature an angle of nearly 90 degrees between the cutting edge and the root, with slight serrations on the sides.
