VERY RARE SQUALODON TOOTH. FOUND IN SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE OLIGICENE DEPOSITS ON THE COASTAL REGIONS NEAR CHARLSESTON. 23 MILLION YEARS OLD PLUS OR MINUS A FEW YEARS.
SIZE: 2 7/16'' LONG, 1'' WIDE
SQUALODONS ARE ONE OF THE RAREST FOSSILS TO FIND. WITH ONLY A HANDFUL OF LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD WHERE OLIGICENE MARINE DEPOSITS ARE FOUND, THE REPRESENTATION OF THESE ANIMALS IS VERY SCARCE AND MOST IF NOT ALL THE INFORMATION IS BASED ON A SCANT COLLECTION OF THERE REMAINS.
THEY ARE MUCH THE SAME AS PRESENT DAY WHALES AND ADDAPTED QUIT WELL TO THERE FOOD SOURCE AND CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT OVER ALL, THERE IS STILL MUCH TO LEARNE FROM THESE ANCIENT CREATURES. THEY RANGE IN AGE FROM THE EARLY OLIGICENE TO THE EARLY MIOCENE.
