The Snaggle Tooth Shark is one of those rare species that continues to exist in today's oceans.
The Jaw is from a large modern Snaggle Tooth that was between 5 and 7 feet long. Although relatively small by shark standards they are a very efficient predator with a jaw full of wicked serrated teeth. Now, 4 to 6 million years ago imagine a shark at least 3 times that size. That's where the teeth in the middle come from. I found these in Florida on the Peace River where these teeth are large and plentiful. I Love to collect "Snags"!!!  |
