[ FOSSILS ARE ONLY LIMITED TIME ITEMS! ]
Here we have a Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo contortus) Tooth that measures 11/16” long, from Maryland.
[Authentic and not restored or altered in any way]
• A shark tooth usually takes at least 10,000 years to fossilize, but some can be millions of years old.
• Tiger sharks are naturally curious, which can lead to attacks on humans, although these attacks are very rare. Tiger sharks are one of the largest shark species, growing up to 18 feet long and weighing up to 2,000 pounds.
• The smaller teeth of P. alabamensis suggest that it targeted smaller prey, such as bony fish and rays.
Tiger sharks have serrated teeth that help them cut through and break down large prey into smaller pieces for swallowing.
• Tiger sharks, or Galeocerdo, have a fossil record that dates back to the early Eocene epoch, roughly 56–47.8 million years ago.
