Own a genuine piece of prehistoric ocean history with this 2.19-inch fossil Great White shark tooth, recovered from the Savannah River area along the Georgia coast. This region is well known among fossil hunters as a source of shark teeth, including megalodon, and much of what surfaces here comes up through the Army Corps of Engineers' dredging operations that keep the Savannah harbor and shipping channel clear.

This impressive specimen represents the fossil Great White shark (Carcharodon carcharias), one of the most iconic predatory sharks still living today and a direct descendant of ancient megatooth sharks. Fossil Great White teeth are highly collectible due to their classic triangular shape, visible serrations, and important place in shark evolution.

About This Specimen

This fossil Great White tooth displays a well-defined triangular crown, natural enamel preservation, and visible serrations along the blade. Fossil Great White teeth from Georgia are especially popular among collectors because of their classic shape, strong display appeal, and connection to one of the ocean's most recognizable apex predators.

Teeth from the Savannah River can show attractive natural mineralization, with colors ranging from soft grays and tans to darker browns and blacks depending on the surrounding sediments. This specimen offers both strong collector appeal and educational value, making it an excellent addition to any fossil shark tooth collection.

Where This Fossil Comes From

The Savannah River area of coastal Georgia is known for producing fossil shark teeth that erode out of ancient marine deposits like the Ebenezer Formation, dating to the late Miocene and early Pliocene. During this period, coastal Georgia sat beneath shallow seas that supported a diverse shark population, and teeth shed by these sharks settled into the sediment below. Much of what collectors find today has been carried loose as float material or brought up through channel dredging, rather than dug directly out of an exposed rock layer.

Fossil shark teeth recovered from the Savannah River are prized by collectors for their natural preservation and the variety of colors they develop through fossilization. Great White teeth from this locality are especially desirable since true white shark specimens make up a much smaller share of what turns up here compared to the region's famous megalodon material, giving them added rarity for a Georgia-sourced piece.

About the Great White Shark

The Great White shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is one of the most recognizable apex predators in the world today. Fossil Great White teeth provide valuable insight into the species' long evolutionary history, showing that its efficient tooth design has remained highly successful for millions of years.

These fossil teeth represent a direct connection between modern Great White sharks and their prehistoric ancestors, highlighting the long-term success of one of the ocean's most formidable hunters.
