Handmade necklace with Authentic fossilized Cretalamna maroccana shark tooth, 2.8 cm pendant length, 50 million years old, Eocene, Morocco

Handmade necklace with an authentic fossilized Cretalamna maroccana shark tooth pendant on a silver-colored metal chain. The tooth is approximately 50 million years old and comes from Morocco. A unique opportunity to wear a special piece of jewelry with an impressive past!

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 fragmentary nature of the fossil deposits in Morocco, and local extraction methods, the tooth may exhibit imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) that are completely normal and unavoidable, but it is overall in good condition, with the enamel layer nearly intact. We invite you to carefully review the product photos to identify any natural imperfections or potential repairs on the specimen.
