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: Sacaco, Peru
Sacaco, in southern Peru, sits in the Pisco Formation, a desert of ancient sea floor sediments famous for exceptionally preserved whales, seals, and sharks from the late Miocene and Pliocene. Shark teeth from Sacaco are known for their bright, colorful enamel, and great white teeth from this area are some of the most beautiful in the world.
