Physogaleus is a genus of prehistoric shark that lived from the Eocene to the Miocene, approximately 56\u201315.97 million years ago.<\/p>\n

These sharks are known only from fossil teeth and isolated vertebrae. The teeth are similar to those of the modern tiger shark, but smaller. It was initially thought that the teeth belonged to an extinct species of tiger shark in the genus Galeocerd<\/em>o, but later the numerous differences in their anatomy led researchers to classify sharks in the group Physogaleus<\/em>. The teeth lack the characteristic lateral serrations of the tiger shark Galeocerdo<\/em>; they are narrower and may have twisted crowns. These features suggest a possible diet of bony fishes, similar to that of modern sand tiger sharks.<\/p>\n

Authentic fossilized Physogaleus contortus shark tooth specimen from the USA, approximately 27.5 million years old, in a plastic box. An excellent gift for anyone passionate about sharks or paleontology!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
