Nurse Shark Tooth – Original Fossil from the Eocene

Tooth of an Ancient Hunter – 56 to 33.9 Million Years Old

This original fossil tooth of a nurse shark (Ginglymostoma) dates from the Eocene – an epoch when the seas were teeming with a diverse array of sharks. The nurse shark is one of our planet's oldest and most persistent shark lineages: calm, patient, and virtually unchanged for millions of years. Its tooth is a direct testament to this ancient lineage – compact, expressive, and with a fine natural structure.
