Twenty million years of shark evolution — sorted, illustrated, and demystified. A quick reference for the four species you'll see most on the North Carolina ledge.
Off the North Carolina coast, an ancient shoreline sits 90 to 120 feet below the surface — a fossil bed the sharks left behind when the water was warmer and shallower. It's our office.
Every specimen we sell was hand-collected or hand-picked from a bed we've worked in person. Each order ships with a signed certificate of authenticity — and if you ever doubt a piece, mail it back and we'll refund it.
Size, symmetry, serration preservation, root condition, and enamel color. A perfect 6-inch specimen with intact serrations and a full root is museum-grade — a smaller worn tooth is a lovely collector piece. Both are real; only one is rare.
Absolutely. Aurora, Topsail, and stretches of the Crystal Coast produce finds every low tide. Bring polarized sunglasses, walk the wrack line after a storm, and look for the shine — nature does the sorting.
Yes, on request. Fossils are legal to export from the US; some destination countries have their own import rules. Message us before ordering and we'll walk you through it.
