Description
Fossil Identification
This listing features a Negaprion fossil shark tooth, identified as a Pliocene specimen from Indonesia. Negaprion is a requiem shark within the Carcharhinidae family, a group of modern sharks known for its important place in marine ecosystems. The fossil identification makes this tooth an appealing addition to collections focused on sharks, palaeontology, marine life, and geological history.
The specimen represents a shark tooth from the Pliocene, a geological epoch associated with significant marine fossil discoveries. Fossil shark teeth are among the most recognisable and collected vertebrate fossils because tooth material can preserve well in sedimentary environments. Their distinctive form provides a direct connection to the biology and feeding adaptations of ancient sharks.
Collector Appeal
A Negaprion fossil tooth offers a specialised collecting opportunity for anyone interested in requiem sharks, Carcharhinidae, fossil teeth, or Indonesian palaeontology. It can be displayed as a natural history specimen, included in a fossil collection, or used as an educational example when discussing sharks and the fossil record. The combination of the Negaprion identification, Pliocene age designation, and Indonesian origin gives the piece clear geological and zoological interest.
This fossil is suitable for collectors of shark teeth, fossilised marine life, palaeontology specimens, geological curiosities, and natural history displays. It may also make a distinctive gift for a shark enthusiast, fossil collector, student, teacher, or anyone fascinated by prehistoric marine animals.

Please review the photographs carefully for the specimen’s appearance and presentation. The images are provided to show the individual fossil included with the listing, allowing collectors to assess its visible characteristics before purchase.
Certificate of Authenticity
This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a Certificate of Authenticity lifetime guarantee generic card.
The included certificate wording provides documentation accompanying the fossil specimen. Keep the certificate with the tooth as part of its collection record, particularly if the specimen is being added to a curated display or personal geological archive.
Display and Educational Use
The compact nature of a fossil shark tooth makes it practical for display in a cabinet, specimen case, study area, classroom collection, or natural history arrangement. It can be paired with educational material about Negaprion, requiem sharks, the Carcharhinidae family, the Pliocene, and the fossilisation of marine organisms.
As a natural fossil specimen, the tooth represents a tangible piece of geological history rather than a modern manufactured reproduction. Its appeal comes from the connection between shark biology, ancient marine environments, fossil preservation, and the continuing scientific value of the fossil record.
