About the Great White Shark
The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, has hunted the oceans for roughly 5 million years and still lives today. Its fossil teeth are broad and triangular with coarse, irregular serrations, and unlike megalodon teeth they have no bourlette between the enamel and the root. The great white descends from smooth-toothed ancestors like the lesser white shark (Carcharodon hastalis), and fossil teeth from the Pliocene and Pleistocene are popular with collectors for their bold serrations and natural colors.
Where This Fossil Comes From: St. Augustine, Florida
The area around St. Augustine on Florida's northeast coast produces fossils from Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits, both on the beaches and inland.
