    2.2" Great White

    From the album: Sonickmonx's South Carolina Finds

    My only nice great white, and at 2.2" it is quite large for the species.

    Carcharodon carcharias

    From the album: Fossil Collection: DC Area and Beyond

    Carcharodon carcharias Holden Beach, NC Unknown Unknown
  3. If you know anything about modern white sharks, how big are teeth of this size? The size is 58mm. How big was this great white shark? Are great white shark teeth of this size large?
  4. Just went to the natural history museum and found these in the display. I REALLY don't think this is great white shark? Might be in the same line (Otodus seems very similar) but I'd rather check with you guys before I ask the museum if they're sure that's what it is, lol.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Neonate)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Neonate) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru Right Upper Lateral A small tooth from a young-of-the-year great white (~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). Teeth of these very young individuals are narrower than adult teeth, and possess lateral "cusplets" - features that aid in their piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Young Juvenile)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Young Juvenile) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru 2nd? Left Upper Anterior A small tooth from a very young great white (< 2 m / 7 ft total length). Teeth of these very young individuals are narrower than adult teeth, and can possess lateral "cusplets" - features that aid in their piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Neonate)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Neonate) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru 2nd Left Upper Anterior A small tooth from a young-of-the-year great white (~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). Teeth of these very young individuals are narrower than adult teeth, and possess lateral "cusplets" - features that aid in their piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Neonate)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Neonate) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru Lower Lateral A small tooth from a young-of-the-year great white (~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). Teeth of these very young individuals are narrower than adult teeth, and possess lateral "cusplets" - features that aid in their piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Neonate)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Neonate) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru 2nd Right Lower Anterior A small tooth from a young-of-the-year great white (~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). Teeth of these very young individuals are narrower than adult teeth, and possess lateral "cusplets" - features that aid in their piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet.

    Great White Shark Tooth (Neonate)

    From the album: Sharks

    Carcharodon carcharias (Neonate) Pisco Formation, Departamento de Arequipa, Sitio Sacaco, Peru 3rd Right Upper (Intermediate) A small tooth from a newborn great white shark (~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). This is a rare intermediate tooth which is mesially-slanted, and reduced in size relative to adjacent teeth. The smaller size of the 3rd upper anterior is an adaptation unique to the dentitions of Lamniforms, thought to concentrate the bite force in the first two upper anteriors.

    Neonatal Great White Shark Tooth

    Identification Teeth of Carcharodon carcharias may be identified by triangular crowns with no nutrient groove in the root, no lingual dental band ("bourlette"), and irregular triangular serrations on the edges. Teeth of neonatal individuals (newborn/young of the year) possess small lateral "cusplets," with a deep "V" profile made by the root lobes, and are more narrow than adult teeth1. This narrow tooth form with cusplets is suited for the great white's piscivorous (fish-dominated) diet at a young age. Comments This is an exceptional upper right lateral tooth from a newborn or full-term embryo great white ( ~ 1.5 m / 5 ft total length). This tooth was exported from Peru prior to 1990. References 1. Tomita, T., Miyamoto, K., Kawaguchi, A., Toda, M., Oka, S.-I., Nozu, R. and Sato, K. (2017), Dental ontogeny of a white shark embryo.

    Great white shark tooth

    From the album: Sharks

    Cool bichrome great white tooth from the Early Pliocene of Southern Peru. Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru, this one was collected prior to 1990 under a Peruvian government permit by the BHI.

    Great white shark tooth (juvenile)

    From the album: Sharks

    Lower tooth from an early great white (Early Pliocene). Juvenile teeth are narrower than those of adults, more suited to a piscivorous (fish-eating) diet. Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru, this one was collected prior to 1990 under a Peruvian government permit by the BHI.
  14. ThePhysicist

    Great white shark tooth

    From the album: Sharks

    One of the most coveted teeth due to the great white's popularity. Being one of my favorite animals, I knew I had to get a nice one eventually. This one in particular is special. Besides being in superb condition, this tooth has a bite mark on the root: three parallel grooves on the labial side of the root gouged by serrations. Bite marks on teeth are uncommon, and a neat feature on this already sweet tooth. This tooth is from the desert of northern Chile. Fossils from Chile are now illegal to export, so as an ethical collector you need to make sure that any Chilean fossils you are interested in were exported prior to the ban.

    Carcharodon hubbelli tooth

    From the album: Sharks

    White sharks used to have smooth-edged teeth. They eventually evolved serrations as their diets transitioned to marine mammals from fish. This shark was a transitional form between the smooth-edged predecessors and the modern fully-serrated great white. The serrations on this tooth are not worn-down. C. hubbelli serrations are naturally finer, typically decrease in size towards the tip, and are oriented towards the tip. This tooth is from the desert of northern Chile. Fossils from Chile are now illegal to export, so as an ethical collector you need to make sure that any Chilean fossils you are interested in were exported prior to the ban.

    Great white shark tooth

    From the album: Sharks

    Nice color on this early great white shark tooth (Early Pliocene). This one comes from the desert of southern Peru, where a long period of sand blasting has smoothed this tooth to a near-polish, all but erasing the serrations. Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru, this one was collected prior to 1990 under a Peruvian government permit by the BHI.
  17. ThePhysicist

    Great White Shark Tooth

    Identification Teeth of Carcharodon carcharias may be identified by erect, triangular crowns with no nutrient groove in the root, no lingual dental band ("bourlette"), and irregular triangular serrations on the edges. Comments This tooth is Early Pliocene in age, which is about as old as great white shark fossils get. Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru. This tooth was collected by the BHI during a series of expeditions to Peru 1985-1990 under a government permit.
  18. ThePhysicist

    Great White Shark Tooth

    Identification Teeth of Carcharodon carcharias may be identified by erect, triangular crowns with no nutrient groove in the root, no lingual dental band ("bourlette"), and irregular triangular serrations on the edges. Comments This tooth has a self-inflicted bite mark in the form of three parallel linear gouges in the labial face of the root made by serrations of another tooth.
  19. ThePhysicist

    Juvenile Great White Shark Tooth

    Identification Teeth of Carcharodon carcharias may be identified by erect, triangular crowns with no nutrient groove in the root, no lingual dental band ("bourlette"), and irregular triangular serrations on the edges. Teeth of juveniles are smaller in size, and are comparatively narrower than adult teeth, suited for a piscivorous diet. Comments This tooth is Early Pliocene in age, which is about as old as great white shark fossils get. Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru. This tooth was collected by the BHI during a series of expeditions to Peru 1985-1990 under a government permit.

    Juvenile great white shark tooth

    From the album: Sharks

    Great whites didn't start out "great." As young, small animals, they had narrower teeth suited for grasping slippery fish. As they age, the teeth broaden as their diet transitions to marine mammals. This small tooth measures ~ 1" on the slant and comes from the Early Pliocene of the Pisco formation in southern Peru. This is about as old as great white teeth get, they evolved from C. hubbelli near the start of the Pliocene (~ 5.3 Ma). Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru, this one was collected prior to 1990 under a Peruvian government permit. As ethical collectors, please do your due diligence to verify any Peruvian fossils you're interested in were exported prior to the ban. I respect any country's decision to protect their natural heritage in such a manner.

    South American great whites

    From the album: Sharks

    These white sharks come from the deserts of Chile (left) and Peru (right).
  22. ThePhysicist

    Peruvian great white

    From the album: Sharks

    Some rare colors on this tooth! While it looks like Bone Valley, this great white actually comes from southern Peru (Pisco formation, Early Pliocene). This is about as old as GW teeth get - the modern species evolved from C. hubbelli around the Early Pliocene (~ 5 million years ago). Fossils are now illegal to export from Peru, this one was collected prior to 1990 under a Peruvian government permit. As ethical collectors, please do your due diligence to verify any Peruvian fossils you're interested in were exported prior to the ban. I respect any country's decision to protect their natural heritage in such a manner.

    Modern species shark tooth display

    From the album: Sharks

    I ran out of room in the other display, so I split the collection into extinct/extant species. I probably still need another riker! For scale, the big great white tooth is about 2 1/4" slant height. In red are species that are endangered or critically endangered. The only teeth I regret having are the modern Makos, I had gotten them for comparative reasons (both are anterior, left is upper, right is lower). The fossil Mako is actually an I. desori (a big one!), but I included it since it's so morphologically similar to the extant species, and a few people would say they're synonymous. Species included (obviously will grow): Alopias superscilliousus Alopias cf. vulpinus Sphyrna zygaena Sphyrna mokarran Carcharhinus obscurus Carcharhinus plumbeus Carcharhinus brachyurus Carcharhinus falciformis Carcharhinus leucas Carcharodon carcharias Carcharias taurus Galeocerdo cuvier Isurus oxyrhinchus Lamna nasus Negaprion brevirostris Rhincodon cf. typus
