Description
Galeocerdo contortus Shark Tooth Fossil
Identification and Geological Setting
This listing features a Galeocerdo contortus shark tooth fossil identified from the Miocene Pungo River Formation. The stated locality is Aurora in Beaufort County, North Carolina, USA, making this an appealing specimen for collectors of North Carolina fossils, Miocene marine fossils, shark teeth, and geological material from the Pungo River Formation.
Galeocerdo contortus is presented here as a fossil shark tooth identification associated with the Miocene geological period. Miocene fossils are valued for documenting ancient marine and terrestrial life and for connecting individual specimens with the geological history of the formations in which they are found. The Pungo River Formation is an important geological unit represented in North Carolina fossil collecting, and a tooth from this formation offers a tangible connection to the region’s fossil record.
Collector Appeal
Shark tooth fossils are popular among beginning and advanced collectors because they combine recognizable form with strong paleontological interest. This Galeocerdo contortus specimen is suited to a fossil display, shark tooth collection, classroom reference set, geology cabinet, or gift for anyone interested in paleontology and North Carolina natural history. Its named identification, Miocene age, formation association, and stated Aurora locality provide useful context for cataloguing and display.
The specimen can be displayed as part of a collection focused on fossil sharks, Miocene fauna, the Pungo River Formation, or fossils from Beaufort County. It may also be a useful addition to a comparative display featuring fossil teeth from different geological periods and localities. The supplied identification and geological information make it suitable for collectors who value locality-based documentation alongside the specimen itself.
