Further shark teeth

Dive into the fascinating world of ancient oceans with our collection of fossil shark teeth. Each relic tells the story of a time long gone and offers a unique connection to the ocean predators of yore. Discover the unique characteristics of each species:

1. Carcharhinus leucas (bull shark)

   • As one of the most aggressive shark species, the fossils of the bull shark are testimony to its long reign in fresh and marine waters. Its teeth, robust and angular, indicate its diverse diet and powerful bite. A tooth of Carcharhinus leucas is not just a fossil, but a glimpse into the life of a versatile predator.

2. Negaprion brevirostris (lemon shark)

   • Known for its yellowish coloration, which gave it its name, the lemon shark has long been dominant in subtropical waters. Its teeth, slender yet sharply serrated, attest to its main diet of small fish and crustaceans. A relic of this species will add a touch of the subtropical primordial seas to your collection.

3. Hemipristis serra (Toothgap shark)

   • The Hemipristis serra, or Tooth Gap Shark, stands out because of its uniquely shaped teeth, which are both curved and serrated. These fossils recall a time when this species thrived in the ancient Tethys Sea. A tooth from this shark is a testament to evolutionary artistry and demonstrates its adaptability and survival skills.

4. Onchopristis numidus (giant sawfish)

   • The Onchopristis numidus is not a shark, but a saw ray that swam in prehistoric waters alongside the famous Spinosaurus. Famous for its characteristic long proboscis with spiny teeth, this fossil offers a remarkable glimpse into the diverse ecosystems of the Cretaceous period. A tooth, or rostral spine, of this type is like a piece of the ancient river systems that once housed giant predators.

5. Carcharhinus sp. (Requiem sharks)

   • Representing a broad group within the shark family, the genus Carcharhinus, commonly known as requiem sharks, includes a variety of species, many of which still exist today. Their teeth, typically triangular and serrated, show the evolutionary consistency of this group of predators' adaptations. A fossil tooth from a member of the genus Carcharhinus connects you to millions of years of marine history and emphasizes the resilience and adaptability of these remarkable predators.

With the addition of these unique species, your collection becomes a window into the diverse and fascinating world of ancient aquatic life.
