Authentic fossilized Galeocerdo aduncus Tiger Shark tooth, 1.7 cm length, 27.5 million years old, Oligocene, USA

Authentic fossilized Galeocerdo aduncus tiger shark tooth specimen from the USA, approximately 27.5 million years old, in a plastic box. An excellent gift for anyone interested in sharks or palaeontology!

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 and the fragmentary nature of fossil deposits in the USA, as well as local extraction methods, the tooth may have imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) which 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 natural imperfections and any potential repairs on the specimen.
