Description

Fossil Shark Tooth Identification

This listing features a Negaprion shark tooth fossil, identified as Negaprion within the requiem shark family Carcharhinidae. The specimen is additionally identified as Pliocene and is listed with Indonesia in the supplied specimen details. It is a distinctive fossil collectible for anyone interested in shark evolution, marine paleontology, fossil teeth and the geological history of Indonesia.

Negaprion belongs to the requiem shark group, a scientifically important family of sharks known from both living representatives and fossil material. Shark teeth are among the most frequently collected vertebrate fossils because sharks continuously replace their teeth during life. Their durable mineralised structure allows individual teeth to survive burial and fossilisation, making them useful objects for study, display and comparison.

Pliocene Fossil Context

The Pliocene is a geological epoch within the Neogene Period. Fossils from this interval provide evidence of marine ecosystems and the animals that lived in ancient seas before the Quaternary. A Pliocene shark tooth offers a direct connection to this period of Earth history and can be used as an accessible introduction to stratigraphy, fossil preservation and the evolution of predatory marine animals.

This specimen is identified specifically as Negaprion, with the family designation Carcharhinidae. The supplied identification makes it suitable for collectors who focus on shark fossils, requiem shark material, Pliocene palaeontology or Indonesian fossil specimens. It can be displayed as a standalone fossil or incorporated into a broader collection of shark teeth and marine fossils.

Display and Collector Interest

Fossil shark teeth are popular with beginning collectors, experienced palaeontologists, educators and natural-history enthusiasts. They are compact, visually engaging and provide an opportunity to discuss tooth replacement, marine food webs, fossilisation and geological time. This Negaprion specimen is also suitable for a fossil display, educational collection, study cabinet or gift for someone interested in sharks and prehistoric life.

Full sizing is shown in the photographs. Please review the photographs carefully for the specimen’s presentation and scale before purchase. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive.
