| Carcharodon carcharias (Great White) Shark Teeth |
|
Classification:
Phylum Chordata, Class Chondrichthyes, Subclass Elasmobranchii, Order Lamniformes, Family Lamnidae, Genus Carcharodon, Species carcharias.
These animals arose during the Phanerozoic Eon, Cenozoic Era, Tertiary Period, Neogene Sub-period, Miocene Epoch, Tortonian Stage (10 to 7.6 million years ago) and live into the present time.
The broad, flat teeth are from the upper jaw. The narrow teeth are from the lower jaw. The symmetrical teeth are anterior (front) teeth and the curved teeth are laterals from the side of the jaw.
Nature has given these teeth one of the most beautiful colorations of any fossil teeth. The "opalized" enamel has hues of pink, blue, yellow, orange, tan and gray.
These teeth are great for wire-wrapping to use on a necklace.
