This tooth was found in North Florida. Includes unique Tiger Shark display case and laminated information card. All fossils sold are authentic fossils, no replicas. The tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is a species of ground shark, and the only extant member of the genus Galeocerdo and family Galeocerdonidae. Populations are found in many tropical and temperate waters, especially around central Pacific islands. Its name derives from the dark stripes down its body, which resemble a tiger's pattern, but fade as the shark matures.The tiger shark is a solitary, mostly nocturnal hunter. It is notable for having the widest food spectrum of all sharks, with a range of prey that includes: crustaceans, fish, seals, birds, squid, turtles, sea snakes, dolphins, and even other, smaller sharks. It also has a reputation as a "garbage eater", consuming a variety of inedible, man-made objects that linger in its stomach. Tiger sharks have only one recorded natural predator, the orca. The tiger shark is second only to the great white in recorded fatal attacks on humans, but these events are still exceedingly rare.The tiger shark commonly attains adult length of 11 ft 6 in – 15 ft 5 in and weighs between 700 and 2,000 lb. It is sexually dimorphic, with females being the larger sex. Mature females are often over 12 ft 2 in while mature males rarely get that large. Exceptionally large females reportedly can measure over 16 ft 5 in, and the largest males 13 ft 1 in. Weights of particularly large female tiger sharks can exceed 2,900 lb. A 2019 study suggested that Pliocene tiger sharks could have reached 26 ft in maximum length. There is variation in the speed of growth rates of juvenile tiger sharks depending on the region they inhabit, with some growing close to twice as fast as others. SH026
