Fossil Bone Valley Carcharodon subserratus (transition) PATHO Shark Tooth 2.15\'\' For Sale

Heres is an exceptionally rare Carcharodon subserratus fossilized shark tooth recovered from the world-famous fossil deposits of Venice, Florida.Known by us collectors and paleontologists for producing some of the finest and research important prehistoric shark remains in North America.

This SPECIAL tooth comes on ag2.15 inches in length.This species of shark tooth is a stunning representation of the transitional linage within the evolutionary modern great/giant white shark. Authentic Carcharodon subserratus teeth are significantly scarcer than the typical meg or Hast. shark teeth recovered from Florida beaches and rivers, making well preserved examples like this one extremely sought after..

The defining feature of this tooth is the presence of extremely fine, worn serrations near the apex of the crown. While subtle and only visible upon close examination AND by feeling/sound, these surviving serrations are an important diagnostic characteristic that helps validate its identification as Carcharodon subserratus. The combination of largely smooth cutting edges and faint residual serrations reflects the species’ transitional nature between earlier broad-toothed mako-like sharks and the fully serrated white shark lineage that followed. The tooth also features a unique hook/curl thats likely linked to pathology!

Adding to its uniqueness, the specimen retains original fossil matrix and marine encrustation, including attached barnacle remnants and mineralized deposits, providing tangible evidence of the tooth’s long geological history. Such natural attachments are often prized by collectors because they preserve part of the fossil’s journey through ancient marine environments and demonstrate that the specimen has not been overly restored or altered. The matrix and mineralization create an attractive, authentic appearance that enhances both display value and scientific interest.

Venice’s fossil-bearing sediments originated within ancient coastal seas that covered much of Florida millions of years ago. Teeth from transitional species such as Carcharodon subserratus provide important evidence for understanding the evolutionary development of one of the ocean’s most successful apex predators. Finds of this species are considerably less common than megalodon, lemon shark, bull shark, and other typical Florida fossil material.
