🦈 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.
