Authentic Striatolamia macrota Fossil Shark Tooth – Late Paleocene, Aquia Formation

This is a genuine Striatolamia macrota fossil shark tooth, carefully sourced from the Late Paleocene (Thanetian) deposits of the Aquia Formation, Piscataway Member, at Wades Bay, Charles County, Maryland, USA. Dating back approximately 59–56 million years, this well-preserved tooth comes from an extinct species of sand tiger shark that thrived in prehistoric marine environments.

Striatolamia macrota belonged to the family Odontaspididae and was an early relative of modern sand tiger sharks. Known for their elongated, narrow teeth with sharp cusps, these sharks were likely opportunistic predators that fed on fish and other marine life.

Geology & Formation:

The Aquia Formation is a significant Paleocene-aged marine deposit found in the mid-Atlantic United States. The Piscataway Member is particularly rich in well-preserved vertebrate fossils, including numerous species of sharks, rays, and bony fish. This formation provides valuable insight into marine ecosystems following the mass extinction that ended the Cretaceous period.

Paleocene Information

The Paleocene Epoch (66–56 million years ago) was the first chapter of the Cenozoic Era, following the mass extinction that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs. With the dinosaurs gone, mammals rapidly diversified, evolving from small, nocturnal creatures into larger and more specialized forms. The climate was warm and humid, with dense forests covering much of the planet. Early primates, rodents, and hoofed mammals appeared, while birds and reptiles, including crocodiles and turtles, thrived. In the oceans, sharks and early whales began to dominate. The Paleocene set the stage for the rise of modern mammal groups and the dramatic evolutionary changes of the Eocene.
