California Mako Shark Tooth
Miocene-Pliocene
About California Mako Shark Tooth
The California Mako Shark Tooth is a fish fossil dating to the Miocene-Pliocene. Mako Shark Tooth is a realistic California fossil profile built around sleek lamnid shark tooth with strong central cusp and no heavy serrations. In this state, success usually comes from learning marine terraces, Monterey shale exposures, and beach gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
“According to TroveRadar, California Mako Shark Tooth fossils from the Miocene-Pliocene are found across California. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.”
