Chubutensis Teeth
Buried Treasure Fossils offers an excellent selection of top quality Chubutensis teeth for sale. Chubutensis is the predecessor of the Megalodon shark. This megatooth shark lived during the late Oligocene and Miocene. The Chubutensis teeth exhibits small cutting edge "bumps" at the base of the crown which are remnants of side cusps that completely disappear with the Megalodon shark teeth. We offer Chubutensis teeth from Florida, Lee Creek (Aurora NC), No. Carolina, Peru, and So. Carolina. Authenticity guaranteed.
Why Collectors Seek Chubutensis Teeth
Collectors value Chubutensis teeth for their place in the evolutionary history of megatooth sharks. The distinctive morphology makes each specimen interesting to examine, especially when the tooth preserves recognizable features of Otodus chubutensis. For enthusiasts building a shark fossil collection, these specimens offer an opportunity to represent an important stage in otodontid evolution. At Buried Treasure Fossils, we enjoy sharing specimens that combine scientific interest with the excitement of fossil collecting.
What to Look for in a Quality Chubutensis Tooth
When examining Chubutensis teeth, pay close attention to preservation. A well-preserved specimen typically retains clear enamel surfaces and defined edges, offering collectors more detail to appreciate. An intact root also adds structural completeness and visual interest. Natural coloration and surface texture provide additional clues about the specimen's fossil history. Our team carefully considers these characteristics when selecting authentic shark teeth for collectors.
