Details

Hemipristis serra is the Snaggletooth shark. It is an extinct species of weasel shark which lived during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs. A large Hemipristis shark which could exceed 20 feet in length and would feed on fish and mammals.

This collection represents a rare and very unusual collection of Miocene fossil shark teeth from the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Few collectors have these teeth and even fewer have had the opportunity to collect this site as I did!
