Palaeocarcharodon is an extinct genus of pygmy white shark. They represent a dead-end lineage that branched off from Cretolamna in the early Paleocene and evolved extremely coarse serrations. These large serrations make them one of the more desirable kinds of shark teeth for collectors. Palaeocarcharodon teeth reach maximum sizes of about 2 inches, but only teeth from Morocco have been known to reach that large size.
