PALEOCARCHARODON ORIENTALIS ( PYGMY WHITE SHARK ) TOOTH - Khouribga, Morocco PALEOCENE PERIOD: 60 million years ago This is the most unique and finest, hand-select fossil tooth from the Paleocarcharodon shark we have ever had. The size, color and preservation are the finest you could hope for. Only slight feeding wear from the shark's use is evident on the serrations. No words can truly describe this rich golden gem. Even an individual that could care less about fossil shark teeth would have to admit to the stunning beauty this specimen possesses. The classic characteristics of fossil teeth from Paleocarcharodon orientalis are the irregular serrations and complex cusplets, also serrated. Paleocarcharodon was a dead-end in the evolution of ancient sharks, leaving no ancestor after its extinction. While these teeth seem similar to the modern-day Great White albeit with cusplets, there is no relation at all in the lineage and development of either species. The Paleocarcharodon teeth we sell are guaranteed to have all genuine roots, now a rare feature in today's marketplace when it comes to these rare fossil shark teeth. The majority of Paleocarcharodon teeth on the market are cleverly repaired with fake or repaired roots made from a paste of ground up roots of other shark teeth. To the untrained eye, this is very difficult to spot. We DO NOT sell teeth of this shark that have ANY restoration. These teeth are literally a dime a dozen and worthless in our opinion. If you see these teeth sold where the price seems too good to be true, it is almost guaranteed that the root has some or complete fabrication. Even at the source, the miners know what complete teeth are worth. We guarantee this tooth has not been tampered with in any way. There is NO RESTORATION and NO REPAIR. UNCOMMON AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE DEEP GOLDEN HUE! 1.8" in length on the diagonal edge SOLD SH502 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
