This catalog contains teeth from one of four extinct Middle Eocene Sand Tiger sharks - Hypotodus verticalis. These are very difficult to find middle Eocene teeth (lower Bartonian - 40 mya) from Kert, W. Kazakhstan. These teeth exhibit long smooth crown with well defined, very sharp side cusps (spike-like) that tend to curve towards the crown. The preservation of these middle Eocene teeth is outstanding showing exquisite detail. This is a very difficult species to find.   Another excellent selection ever from my old inventory! I have not seen a new supply for 10+ years.  Note - all teeth sizes are slant height unless otherwise noted.
