A truly rare and highly desirable fossil: a tooth of Carcharodon subarticulatus, preserved in its original matrix, collected from the Puglia region of Southern Italy. Such specimens are seldom found on the market. Species: Carcharodon subarticulatus (an extinct shark) Origin: Puglia, Italy – area with limited finds of this species Preservation: Tooth remains embedded in part of the matrix, which helps both with authenticity and stability, and gives a natural presentation Condition: Fantastic preservation . Matrix is 9,5 x 8,5 x 4 cm. This is not a common item. Carcharodon subarticulatus teeth are extremely scarce, particularly those still within matrix. Many collectors and dealers have little to none available at any given time. Because of this, provenance (Puglia) adds value: it connects the specimen to a known but underrepresented locality, making it more attractive to specialists of Mediterranean fossils. Given the rarity, the natural aesthetics, and the scarcity of comparable offerings, this fossil is highly suited for advanced collectors or museums interested in paleo‑fauna of the Mediterranean basin.
