Lee Creek - Carcharocles chubutensis
This catalog contains
excellent teeth from the
most highly sought fossil shark - an extinct early Giant White shark, C. chubutensis.
C. chubutensis is an early form of C. megalodon (early
- middle Miocene, Pungo River Formation)
which exhibits the development of small side cusps. These are gorgeous teeth
from the Lee Creek phosphate mine. You do not see many
of this Meg species available!
Please note that Lee Creek produces C. megalodon and
C. chubutensis teeth that are among the highest quality available,
and exceptional specimens are exceedingly difficult to locate.
NO restoration or repair in this group!
Catalog updated July 16, 2010. Note - LC
Chubs are getting much more difficult to locate!

An
EXCEPTIONAL, EXTRA LARGE,
GORGEOUS CLASSIC Lee Creek Carcharocles chubutensis,
early C. megalodon tooth. This early
Megalodon
was found in the Pungo River Formation (middle Miocene age). Note the
crown exhibits large cusplike bumps at the base of the serrated edge and the
root ends also show grooves where the teeth interlocked. These are
characteristic traits of the Lee Creek early Meg - C. chubutensis.
A gorgeous light tan colored crown with an excellent hazel brown bourlette.
The bourlette is large. No
enamel peel. The serrations are long, razor sharp, and nearly complete
including a partially damaged tip serration. Highest quality enamel!
The root is an excellent light brown color and complete with very small
hydration cracks - a very rare occurrence - as good as Bone Valley!
An exceptional collector's tooth. Reverse
