Authentic Galeocerdo cuvier Fossil Shark Tooth – Miocene, Pungo River Formation

This is a genuine Galeocerdo cuvier fossil shark tooth, carefully sourced from the Miocene-aged deposits of the Pungo River Formation, found at Lee Creek Mine, Aurora, North Carolina, USA. Dating back approximately 23–5 million years, this fossil represents an ancient ancestor of the modern tiger shark, one of the ocean’s most formidable predators.

Galeocerdo cuvier is the same species as the modern tiger shark, known for its powerful bite and ability to consume a wide variety of prey. Its teeth are distinct due to their broad, curved shape and sharp serrations, making them highly effective for slicing through tough prey like sea turtles, fish, and marine mammals.

Miocene Information

The Miocene Epoch (23–5.3 million years ago) was a time of major climatic and ecological change, shaping many of today’s ecosystems. The climate was generally warmer and drier, but it gradually cooled as ice sheets expanded in Antarctica. This shift led to the spread of grasslands and savannas, replacing many ancient forests and driving the evolution of grazing mammals like early horses, antelope, and elephants. Ape species diversified, with some moving toward more ground-dwelling lifestyles, setting the stage for early hominins. Marine life thrived, with giant sharks like Megalodon ruling the oceans. The Miocene laid the foundation for modern ecosystems, with many plant and animal groups adapting to the drier, open landscapes that became dominant.
