XLG Hemipristis 1.967"

XLG Hemipristis 1.967"This X large Hemi is in virtually perfect condition, with a stunning color pattern of cloudy light gray enamel. featuring sharp serrations and a light, slightly eroded root. It also phosphoresces under UV light due to high concentrations of phosphatic minerals and trace elements, which absorb UV energy and re release it as visible light. Why are they called snaggletooth sharks? The name snaggletooth comes from the unusual shape of their teeth. In

the phosphate sediments preserved these fossils

Carcharodon hastalis has broader

even denticles you find on a prime Megalodon crown

Because each tooth spent millions of years in its own micro-environment—different positions in the sediment

and browse from trees and shrubs rather than coarse grasses

Rare ankle bones from the early Pleistocene sloth

Saurophaganax

that was their first introduction to the group

Key reasons include:

it contains large teeth with attractive natural coloring

when paleontologist Paul Sereno led expeditions into the Kem Kem region of Morocco and Algeria

A distinct bourlette (the darker band between root and enamel)
