The Great White shark is the modern apex predator of our oceans. They are found in coastal waters of all major oceans. They can grow to 20 feet and 4000 lbs. Two record Great White shark were caught that exceeded 30 feet in length! The only predator known to attack sharks is a pod of Orcas. The Great White shark is also known to attack man resulting in many injuries and death.

The Great White shark evolved from a Mako shark during the late Miocene period. These transitional teeth, Carcharodon hubbelli,  have been found in Peru and Chile. I also have a few of the rare Great White shark transitional teeth for sale.

The Great White shark has been a protected species for more than 10 years, and unfortunately modern teeth can only come from a captured shark. All teeth today have to come from old collections and are extremely difficult to locate. These are incredible examples of a known man killer. Check out the serrations - they are getting larger compared to their fossil ancestors. I added several of my finest, rare collector specimens. Get one while they last!
