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) comes from the Eocene – an epoch when the seas were populated by a due diversity of sharks. The nurse shark is one of the oldest and most persistent shark lineages on our planet: 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.
