Sand Tiger Shark Tooth Necklace
📍 Only available for shipment in Tunisia
The Story
This necklace features a genuine fossilized tooth from the extinct Striatolamia genus, a formidable relative of modern Sand Tiger and Grey Nurse sharks. Originating from the Eocene epoch approximately 50 million years ago, these teeth were recovered from the ancient marine deposits of the Khouribga Province in Morocco. Expertly handcrafted into wearable history, the tooth showcases the specialized design—including distinct vertical striations—that allowed these apex predators to thrive in the prehistoric Tethys Sea. Wearing this specimen is a way to carry a tangible sign of the Earth's ancient aquatic heritage, serving as a constant reminder of the complex biological designs that have existed across the eras.
