Description: Hi all! These are labeled collections of eight shark teeth in 6.25 x 5.25 x .75 inch Riker Mounts from the Miocene of the U.S. East Coast! Makes a great display piece or gift for aspiring paleontologists, each comes with a one page description of the species displayed, a copy of which is available below! The size and quality of each fossil varies from case to case. Above are pictures of the available collections. You may pick whichever one you want. If I don't hear from you before shipping, one will be picked at random. The eight species in each collection are the Extinct Great White Shark (Cosmopolitodus hastalis), Sand Tiger (Carcharias sp.), Eagle Ray (Myliobatis sp.), Requiem (Carcharhinus sp.), Lemon (Negaprion sp.), Snaggletooth (Hemipristis serra), Longtooth Tiger (Physogaleus contortus), and a nearly complete Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon)! Extinct White: (Cosmopolitodus hastalis) The ancestor to the modern Great White Shark, The Extinct White Shark grew to over 20 feet (6 meters) in length and fed primarily on large fish, marine mammals, and smaller sharks. Sand Tiger: (Carcharias sp.) The Sand Tiger Shark lives in large schools in warm shallow water. They grow to over 10 feet (3 meters) long and primarily feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Eagle Ray: (Myliobatis sp.) Stingrays are close relatives of sharks. Eagle rays have broad triangular fins and flat teeth for crushing shellfish. The ridged side of the tooth is actually the root. Requiem: (Carcharhinus sp.) Shark teeth of the genus Carcharhinus (a genus from a group of sharks called "Requiem Sharks") are very similar across species, all 35 of them! Species include the Bull, Dusky, Blacktip, Spinner, Copper, and Silky Sharks. The largest, the Dusky, grows to over 14 feet (4.2 meters) long though most species are less than 6 feet (1.8 meters). One species, the Bull Shark, is considered one of the most dangerous sharks in the world and is able to swim in salt and fresh water! All species feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Lemon: (Negaprion sp.) Lemon Sharks use the same nursery grounds for their pups for many generations. They grow to over 10 feet (3 meters) long and primarily feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Snaggletooth: (Hemipristis serra) This large extinct shark grew to lengths of 20 feet (6 meters) and had teeth that looked like little chainsaws! The modern Snaggletooth is much smaller growing up to 7. 5 feet long (2.25 meters) and feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Long Tooth Tiger: (Physogaleus contortus) This species was originally thought to be more closely related to the Tiger shark (Galeocerdo). It was later reclassified under the extinct genus Physogaleus (this species is also extinct). They would have grown to over 10 feet (3 meters) long and primarily feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid as indicated by its long-pointed teeth. Megalodon: (Carcharocles megalodon) Megalodon was the largest known species of shark to have ever lived. It grew to over 60 feet (18 meters) in length and fed primarily on large marine mammals including whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, and even the occasional Mammoth out for a swim.
