Makes a great display piece or gift for aspiring paleontologists, each comes with a one page description of the species displayed, a copy of which is available below! The size and quality of each fossil varies from case to case. Above are pictures of the available collections. You may pick whichever one you want. If I don't hear from you before shipping, one will be picked at random. The eight species in each collection are the Extinct Great White Shark (Cosmopolitodus hastalis), Sand Tiger (Carcharias sp.), Eagle Ray (Myliobatis sp.), Requiem (Carcharhinus sp.), Lemon (Negaprion sp.), Snaggletooth (Hemipristis serra), Tiger (Galeocerdo sp.), and a Huge (4 - 4.5 Inch) partial Megalodon (Carcharocles megalodon)! Extinct White: (Cosmopolitodus hastalis) The ancestor to the modern Great White Shark, The Extinct White Shark grew to over 20 feet (6 meters) in length and fed primarily on large fish, marine mammals, and smaller sharks. Sand Tiger: (Carcharias sp.) The Sand Tiger Shark lives in large schools in warm shallow water. They grow to over 10 feet (3 meters) long and primarily feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Eagle Ray: (Myliobatis sp.) Stingrays are close relatives of sharks. Eagle rays have broad triangular fins and flat teeth for crushing shellfish. The ridged side of the tooth is actually the root. Requiem: (Carcharhinus sp.) Shark teeth of the genus Carcharhinus (a genus from a group of sharks called "Requiem Sharks") are very similar across species, all 35 of them! Species include the Bull, Dusky, Blacktip, Spinner, Copper, and Silky Sharks. The largest, the Dusky, grows to over 14 feet (4.2 meters) long though most species are less than 6 feet (1.8 meters). One species, the Bull Shark, is considered one of the most dangerous sharks in the world and is able to swim in salt and fresh water! All species feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Lemon: (Negaprion sp.) Lemon Sharks use the same nursery grounds for their pups for many generations. They grow to over 10 feet (3 meters) long and primarily feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Snaggletooth: (Hemipristis serra) This large extinct shark grew to lengths of 20 feet (6 meters) and had teeth that looked like little chainsaws! The modern Snaggletooth is much smaller growing up to 7. 5 feet long (2.25 meters) and feed on smaller fish, sharks, crustaceans, and squid. Tiger: (Galeocerdo sp.) Tiger sharks have the most varied diet of any shark they feed on large fish, sharks, crustaceans, squid, stingrays, sea birds, marine mammals, and sea turtles. They also been known to eat garbage like license plates, boat oars, clothes, and tin cans. They grow up to 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length. Megalodon: (Carcharocles megalodon) Megalodon was the largest known species of shark to have ever lived. It grew to over 60 feet (18 meters) in length and fed primarily on large marine mammals including whales, dolphins, seals, manatees, and even the occasional Mammoth out for a swim.
