Lee Creek - Carcharocles megalodon
This catalog contains
excellent teeth from the
most highly sought fossil shark - the extinct Giant White shark, C. megalodon.
These teeth are noted for their
wide triangular crowns which are fully serrated. C. megalodon was
the undisputed king of the Miocene - Pliocene seas (2-15 million years ago), and
are mostly found in the Pliocene Yorktown Formation at the Lee Creek phosphate
mine.
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!
