Edestus heinrichi

“Scissor-Tooth” Shark

Pennsylvanian – Herrin Fm

Southern Illinois

 

 

Here is a nice Edestus sp. tooth from Southern Illinois.  This one measures about 65 mm in length. It comes in a 4-1/4 x 3-1/4 -inch Riker Mount. Dilute Butvar B76 was used on the root as a consolidant, to reduce pyrite oxidation. There is some weathering on this one, but it presents nicely.

This is a nice tooth.

Specimen # 07.29.23-2

Payment must be received within 6 days of auction closing. I can combine shipments where it will not risk damage to the specimens. If you are buying several items please do not pay for them individually. I will find a box to hold all the items where suitable and will invoice you for combined shipping.

 

S&H includes a handling and supplies charge to cover costs above actual shipping.

Note to International Buyers: For Fossil and Mineral Specimens, I always use the Customs Code 9705.00.00.91 which is for fossil and mineral collectables. By international agreement that should make them duty free, however I have no control over individual customs offices and how they interpret the rules. In addition, some countries assess VAT. All pricing and shipping/handling is exclusive of Duty and/or VAT, which will be the responsibility of the purchaser. By law I am required to fill out customs forms accurately.

Good Luck
