Handmade necklace with an authentic fossilized Mako Shark tooth pendant on a silver-colored metal chain. The tooth is approximately 15 million years old and comes from Belgium. A unique opportunity to wear a special piece of jewelry with an impressive past!
Sharks have a very large number of teeth, in multiple rows, which are replaced many times during their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of the enamel and the long period of time they lived, means that fossilized shark teeth are common in various parts of the world.
Due to the age of the specimen, 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. Shark teeth from Belgium are found on riverbeds and are smoothed by the action of water over time. We invite you to carefully study the product photos to identify natural imperfections and possible repairs to the specimen.
