🦈 About Fossil Hemipristis Shark Teeth (Hemipristis serra)
Fossil teeth from Hemipristis serra—commonly known as the extinct Snaggletooth Shark—are some of the most distinct and eye-catching shark fossils available. This unique species lived during the Miocene epoch, approximately 5 to 20 million years ago, and is known for its heavily serrated and curved teeth that resemble a cross between a tiger shark and a great white.
Hemipristis serra teeth are easily recognized by:
- Their dramatically curved shape
-
Razor-sharp serrations along both edges
- A robust root structure with a slight “V” notch
These sharks were powerful predators that likely hunted bony fish and small marine mammals in coastal waters. Fossil specimens are most commonly recovered from:
-
Bone Valley Formation in Central Florida
-
Calvert Cliffs in Maryland
- Southeastern U.S. rivers and phosphate mines
Tooth color varies with the sediment type and can range from light beige and gray to deep black or chocolate brown.
Each Hemipristis tooth from Fossil Driven is:
