Shark Teeth

Assorted Shark Teeth

These genuine fossil shark teeth represent various prehistoric shark species that inhabited Earth's oceans approximately 60–45 million years ago, during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. They include ancient relatives of modern sand sharks and mackerel sharks, which occupied warm coastal waters, shallow seas and open-ocean environments. These predators fed on fish, squid, crustaceans and other marine animals, possessing teeth adapted to their particular diets. Because shark skeletons are primarily composed of cartilage, which rarely fossilises, their teeth are among the most common surviving remains, providing valuable insight into the diversity of prehistoric marine life.
