Description
NEGAPRION SHARK TOOTH FOSSIL
This listing presents a Negaprion shark tooth fossil, identified as a requiem shark in the family Carcharhinidae. Negaprion is a recognised shark genus, making this an appealing fossil for collectors interested in shark evolution, marine vertebrates and fossil teeth. Its tooth form represents the durable feeding structures of a predatory shark and offers a direct connection to ancient marine life.
GEOLOGICAL IDENTIFICATION
The specimen is identified as Pliocene. The Pliocene is a geological epoch of the Neogene Period, following the Miocene and preceding the Pleistocene. Fossils from this interval are important for understanding changing marine environments, shark diversity and the development of modern animal groups. This tooth is therefore suited to collections focused on Cenozoic fossils, palaeontology or the history of marine ecosystems.
SPECIMEN DETAILS
The supplied specimen information identifies the fossil as Negaprion, with the additional identification “Requiem Carcharhinidae Shark,” and records Indonesia. The combination of a named shark genus, family-level identification and Pliocene age gives the piece useful educational and display value. It can be incorporated into a fossil tooth collection, a teaching display or a natural-history themed cabinet.
Shark teeth are among the most popular fossil specimens because they are recognisable, scientifically informative and closely connected with the feeding biology of extinct and ancient sharks. A tooth can help illustrate the relationship between form and function in marine predators while also providing an accessible introduction to geological time and fossil preservation. This Negaprion specimen is particularly suitable for collectors seeking a named requiem shark fossil rather than an unidentified shark tooth.
DISPLAY AND COLLECTING
The specimen can be displayed as part of a shark fossil group, alongside other marine fossils, or used as a conversation piece in a palaeontology collection. Its clear identification makes it suitable for anyone building a themed collection around Carcharhinidae, fossil shark teeth or Pliocene marine life. It may also be of interest to students, educators and collectors who value labelled specimens with accompanying authenticity documentation.
