About the Kazakhstan Locality - An area of badlands in western Kazakhstan is yielding exquisite middle Eocene age (Upper Shorym age / Bartonian; approx. 37 million years ago) shark teeth. The fossil teeth from this area exhibit superb preservation and coloration. The exquisite detail shown by these teeth are rapidly making this shark tooth site world famous. Being a land site, the detail and preservation exhibited by these shark teeth are nothing less than outstanding - some of the finest marine fossils known. The exceptional and rare teeth from this unique location are a must for every collection. In fact, this area has produced the finest examples of many shark species including the rare and highly sought after transitional Otodus teeth (serrated) which is the precursor to the Carcharocles genus. There are several locations in a very remote and nearly inaccessible area of N. Mangyshlak province in western Kazakhstan. The deposits are being worked by a small team of Russian experts who camp in this desert wilderness for six-seven months at a time. A new selection of Oligocene and Cretaceous shark teeth (Lower Santonian) in age (approx. 75 mya) from Tykbutak, W. and other western Kazakhstan sites are included.
