42 - 68 Million Years Ago ! 

 

Details :

Weight :128g

Tooth Size : 35 x 55mm

This Shark was a highly developed Predator!

Paleontologists believe that it was at the heart of the Great White family tree and the original ancestor of the Megalodon.

Teeth range up to 102mm in diagonal length.

This shark is Theorized to have obtained 12 meters in length ( 40ft )

How a tooth becomes a fossil :

The tooth falls from the jaws of the shark and becomes buried in the sea bed.

The sediment in which it is buried, precludes oxygen and harmful bacteria from destroying it.

Over thousands of years, the tooth absorbs minerals from the surrounding sediment and this is what determines the colour.

 

A tooth is only considered a fossils once it is 10 000 years old.
