Authentic Squalicorax kaupi Fossil Shark Tooth – Upper Cretaceous, Black Creek Formation

This is a genuine Squalicorax kaupi fossil shark tooth, carefully sourced from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) deposits of the Black Creek Formation, found at Phoebus Landing, Bladen County, North Carolina, USA. Dating back approximately 83–72 million years, this fossil belonged to an extinct species of crow shark that thrived in prehistoric marine ecosystems.

Squalicorax, commonly known as the crow shark, was a mid-sized predator that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It is believed to have been a scavenger, feeding on the remains of marine reptiles, fish, and even other sharks. Its teeth are characterized by a broad, triangular shape with finely serrated edges, designed for slicing through flesh and bone.

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
