Description from the seller

Special Shark Collection

An unmissable collection for enthusiasts of the genre with 5 pieces from three different species:

- Hybodus, spined fin 21 cm with display stand, 200-250 million years ago;
- Otodus: two teeth of 3 and 4 cm, very well preserved, and one 9 cm tooth embedded in matrix, very pointed and showing mineral concretions, 65-4 million years ago;
- Megalodon 5x5, beautiful and well preserved, 23-3.6 million years ago.

The only piece that shows heavy restoration is the tooth in matrix, which reveals a base crack. The strong mineralization likely weakened it, as seen at the break, yet it remains a very large specimen with a beautiful sharp tip.

The collection has an overall weight of 750 g and is the result of years of research in exhibitions, markets, and private collections around the world.
