.5" Partial, Fossil Cow Shark (Notorhynchus) Tooth - Aurora, NC
This is a partial tooth from the rare Cow Shark (Notorhynchus primogenius). this tooth fragment is from the Lee Creek Mine in Aurora, North Carolina. This site has been closed to collecting for many years, so little material coming from old collections is available. Cow shark teeth, particularly nice ones were pretty rare, even in the heyday of collecting there.
This shark has a large, thick body, with a broad head and blunt snout. The top jaw has jagged, cusped teeth and the bottom jaw has comb-shaped teeth. It lived in shallow water and was an opportunistic predator feeding on animals along the bottom.
Comes with an acrylic display case.
