🦈 About Fossil Great White Shark Teeth (Carcharodon carcharias)
Fossilized teeth from the modern Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) offer a fascinating look into one of today’s most iconic ocean predators and its ancient past. These fossils typically date back to the Pliocene epoch, approximately 2 to 5 million years ago, though some specimens can be older depending on the location.
Great White shark teeth are known for their:
- Large triangular crowns
- Sharp, serrated edges
-
Broad, curved roots
These features made them incredibly efficient for tearing into prey such as marine mammals and large fish.
Fossil Great White teeth are most commonly found along:
-
The U.S. East Coast (especially South Carolina and North Carolina)
- Australia, Peru, and Chile
-
California coastlines, where uplifted marine sediment preserves well
Coloration ranges from white and beige to gray, blue, and black, depending on the minerals present during fossilization. These teeth are often confused with Carcharodon hubbelli or juvenile Megalodon teeth but can be distinguished by their root shape and serration patterns.
