The Carcharhinus limbatus is the Blacktip shark and is in common to coastal tropical and subtropical waters around the world. This species can reach lengths of approximately 5 feet. The Sandbar shark has a diet of fish. They are normally wary of humans.

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!
