RARE POSITION
POSTERIOR 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 famous St. Mary's River in Georgia,
U.S.A. 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. It isn't until the Pleistocene that the fossil shark teeth
of the Great White Shark are
found with greater regularity.
The rarest position
for fossil GREAT WHITE
SHARK
teeth seems to be the back, posterior teeth. This is the first we
offered in a very long time. Don't be fooled by the smaller size,
the back teeth were considerably smaller than the front anterior teeth.
The posterior Great White teeth also feature a reduced root and heavy
angle of the crown to the root. This beautiful
specimen features fine complete naturally lustrous black enamel and
superb serrations. A very hard to find type fossil tooth of all
types of sharks and especially, this species. There is NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
An important and elusive type tooth for the advanced shark tooth collection.
