Fossil Thresher Shark Teeth

The Alopias grandis shark tooth is a fossilized tooth from the extinct shark Alopias grandis, also known as the giant thresher shark. It is the largest known species of thresher shark, and it lived during the Miocene epoch, about 23 to 5 million years ago. Alopias grandis shark teeth are characterized by their large size, smooth cutting edges, and strongly recurved crown. The teeth can reach lengths of up to 2 inches.

They are also found in South Carolina, where they are a popular souvenir.
