Description
Fossil Identification
This listing presents a Palaeohypotodus rutoti British Eocene shark tooth fossil, identified in the supplied product information as a specimen associated with the Woolwich Beds and described with the geological designation Paleocene, Eocene. The identification makes this an appealing addition for collectors interested in fossil sharks, palaeontology and the geological history of Britain.
Palaeohypotodus rutoti is represented here by a fossil shark tooth. Shark teeth are among the most recognisable fossil remains because their distinctive form can provide a direct connection to extinct marine animals and the environments in which they lived. A named fossil identification also makes the specimen suitable for educational study, collection labelling and display alongside other palaeontological material.
Locality and Geological Interest
The specimen is associated with Beltinge, Kent, and the Woolwich Beds. These locality and bed details are important points of interest for collectors who document the geological context of their specimens. The supplied identification includes both Paleocene and Eocene terminology, preserving the wording provided for this fossil and its geological association.
A fossil with a named taxon and locality can be especially useful in a curated collection, where specimens are arranged by fossil group, geological period or place of origin. The Beltinge, Kent association gives this shark tooth a clear British collecting context, while the Woolwich Beds designation adds geological relevance for those studying fossil-bearing deposits and the changing marine environments represented in the geological record.
Collector and Display Appeal
This fossil shark tooth is suited to collectors of fossil teeth, shark fossils, British fossils and geological specimens. It can be displayed as a standalone specimen or incorporated into a wider collection focused on fossil sharks, Paleocene and Eocene material, or fossils from Kent. Its named identification provides a strong basis for a display label or collection record.
The specimen may also be of interest to students, educators and anyone developing an accessible introduction to palaeontology. Fossil shark teeth offer a practical way to explore extinction, fossilisation, taxonomy and the interpretation of geological localities without requiring a large display space.
