North Carolina Mako Shark Tooth
Miocene-Pliocene
About North Carolina Mako Shark Tooth
The North Carolina Mako Shark Tooth is a fish fossil dating to the Miocene-Pliocene. Mako Shark Tooth is a realistic North Carolina fossil profile built around sleek lamnid shark tooth with strong central cusp and no heavy serrations. In this state, success usually comes from learning shell hash banks, estuary muds, and storm-washed beach lag, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
