Authentic fossilized tooth of a Tiger Shark Galeocerdo eaglesomei, 2.4 cm long, 40 million years old, Eocene, Morocco

Authentic Tiger Shark Tooth Specimen Galeocerdo eaglesomei fossilized from Morocco, approximately 40 million years old, in a plastic box. A very old and rare tooth of a prehistoric species of gigantic Tiger Shark!

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.
