Negaprion Shark Tooth Fossil, Pliocene Indonesia Requiem Carcharhinidae

Description

Fossil Identification

This listing features a Negaprion shark tooth fossil, identified as Negaprion within the requiem shark family Carcharhinidae. The specimen is associated with the Pliocene, a geological epoch of the Neogene Period. Negaprion is a recognised shark genus within the requiem shark group, making this fossil a strong choice for collectors interested in fossil shark teeth, prehistoric marine life and palaeontology.

The product information associates this specimen with Indonesia. Its identification as a Negaprion fossil shark tooth provides an appealing connection to the evolutionary history of marine predators and the fossil record of sharks. Shark teeth are among the most commonly preserved parts of the shark skeleton because teeth are composed of durable mineralised material, while the cartilaginous body is much less likely to fossilise.

Geological and Collector Interest

The Pliocene was a significant interval in the later history of the Neogene, when marine environments supported diverse shark communities alongside numerous other ocean-dwelling organisms. A Pliocene fossil tooth can be used to explore the long-term history of shark evolution, marine ecosystems and the preservation of vertebrate remains in the fossil record.

Negaprion belongs to Carcharhinidae, commonly known as the requiem sharks. This family includes streamlined marine sharks adapted to active life in ocean and coastal environments. As a Negaprion specimen, this fossil is especially suitable for displays focused on requiem sharks, shark evolution, fossil collecting or natural history. It can also serve as an educational object for learning about taxonomic classification, geological time and the difference between living animal groups and their fossil representatives.

Display and Collection Use

This fossil shark tooth is suitable for a personal fossil collection, a natural history display, a geology cabinet or an educational presentation. Its compact form makes it practical for display alongside other fossil shark teeth, marine fossils and specimens from the Neogene. The identification and Pliocene age designation add useful context for collectors who organise specimens by genus, family or geological period.
