Authentic rare fossilized Notorhynchus primigenius Cow Shark tooth, 2.1 cm length, 20 million years old, Miocene, Belgium

Authentic rare fossilized Notorhynchus primigenius Cow Shark tooth specimen from Belgium, approximately 20 million years old, in a plastic box. An excellent gift for a collector or anyone passionate about sharks or paleontology!

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 the fossil deposits in Belgium, as well as local extraction methods, the tooth may have imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) which are perfectly normal and unavoidable, 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 possible repairs to the specimen.
