Shark Fossils For Sale
Shark teeth are some of the
most collectible fossils on the paleo market. Shark tooth patterns,
colors, and shapes vary so widely that some collectors collect nothing
else. Some of the most desireable are specimens from the Aurora mine, the
North Carolina "red site" and Peru.
Chubutensis, Ptychodus, Otodus, Hemipristis, mako, tiger shark, Squalicorax, bull shark, dusky shark, and lemon shark teeth are all desireable, but high quality teeth from the giant Megalodon, the largest shark that ever lived, seem to be the most sought-after. With a number of teeth over 7 inches long on record, some paleontologists estimate the megalodon was over 70 feet long!
None of the teeth on this page have restoration, unless otherwise noted. Please understand, I tried to eliminate gloss in the photos to show the details of the teeth. The teeth are glossy as usual.

Item 198 Lee Creek / Aurora Mine Megalodon
tooth. North Carolina. This tooth is darned near flawless.
Amazing colors, a near perfect bourlette, it doesn't get much better than
this. $400
Item 207 Otodus obliquus teeth on matrix.
Eocene. Morocco. It is safe to assume the teeth were reset onto the
matrix, but it looks great and at about $8 per tooth, you can't go wrong.
$75
Item 215 Carcharocles megalodon tooth. Calvert Cliffs, Virginia. Nearly perfect serrations,
and amazing "fire" color pattern, and a detailed root. Another true
collector specimen. $200
Item 214 Carcharocles megalodon tooth. Miocene. Bone Valley, Florida. Nearly perfect
serrations, a nice bluish-gray enamel, tan bourlette, light gray root, and a
neatly patterned backside. What more could you ask for from a Bone Valley
tooth? If this doesn't sell, I'll have no problem keeping it in my
collection. A true collector specimen. $200
