Bargain, .95" Fossil Ginsu Shark (Cretoxyrhina) Tooth - Kansas
This is a fascinating, .95" wide tooth from a Ginsu Shark (Cretoxyrhina sp.) a genus of large mackerel sharks from the Late Cretaceous period. The enamel is well preserved on the dental surface. Comes in acrylic bubble case.
A portion of the root is missing, hence the price.
Paleontologists believe these ginsu sharks grew to be about 7-8 meters long. Their teeth are both sharply pointed and laterally flattened, and the slicing-and-dicing motion they would have employed while feeding with them is what gives them their common name "Ginsu Shark", after the ginsu knife used for culinary purposes.
