Rare Fossil of a 2" Great White Shark's Tooth With a Whale Vertebrae. Great White sharks are rare today and were probably even rarer in the past as their fossilized teeth are rarely encountered. This interesting fossil not only has a perfectly preserved 2 inch Great White Shark's tooth but also an 8 x 4 inch partial whale vertebrae that was probably the prey animal that caused the tooth to be dislodged from the shark's mouth. It is rare to find a predator prey event preserved in the fossil record. The remarkable fossils are preserved on a 11 x 8 inch sandstone matrix that is 2- 5 million years old from the Wingate Bay bonebed of the Pismo Formation in California. Estimate Value $450 - UP
