TOP GRADE UNITED STATES FOSSIL GREAT WHITE SHARK TOOTH
St. Mary's River - Georgia, U.S.A. MIOCENE
to PLIOCENE PERIOD: 15 - 1.81 million years ago
Fossil
Great White shark teeth from the
U.S.A. of fine grades, are highly uncommon and rare in the Miocene /Pliocene layers. It seems that during the reign of C. megalodon, C. carcharias was keeping a low profile and for a good
reason, Megalodon was much larger with just as bad an attitude if not
worse. Fine grade fossil GREAT WHITE
SHARK
teeth from the United States
are very difficult to find for sale. The vast majority of fossil
Great White Shark teeth are from SOUTH AMERICA and are abundant by the
bucket-loads of extremely fine quality. These teeth are no where
near as rare as American fossil teeth of this species and cannot be
compared in the least. Furthermore, there are even many more
Megalodon fossil shark teeth found than Great White fossil shark teeth
in U.S.A. deposits making such teeth a prize to collect and display when
offered for sale.
One of the most famous rare sites for
producing fossil shark teeth with stunning color and patterns in the
enamel is the St. Mary's River in Georgia, U.S.A..
Collectors that are familiar
with the unique set of circumstances regarding this famous deposit will
appreciate just exactly what is being offered here. The iron based
minerals in the substrate are responsible for a rare occurrence of
spotted patterns in the enamel as well as a reddish hue, on occasion.
This beautiful
specimen is without question, a very high grade example. Asides from
the rarity of its U.S.A. provenance instead of South America, it
features a reflective chatoyant enamel that cannot be fully
appreciated in the photos. Serrations and tip are deadly sharp as
they were the day this shark was alive and tearing apart its prey. There is no fragmentation and the lustrous and highly
reflective crown has fully intact enamel on both sides. Root is
intact. There is NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
It is quite rare we collect fine quality Great White fossil shark teeth.
This specimen is one of those rare chances to add a highly unusual and
stunning beauty from a rare source.
