Up for sale is a premium, ready-made vertebrate paleontology display collection of over 50 fossilized shark and fish teeth from famous Belgian localities. This is a meticulously curated scientific set spanning the Eocene (Ypresian Clay) through the Miocene.
Includes Custom Display System:
This collection is housed in a high-quality, clear plastic display case containing clear, individual, screw-top vials. This system is perfect for storage, study, and viewing:
• Each fossil is secured in its own vial.
• The identifying label and collection data are enclosed with the specimen, ensuring documentation is never lost.
• The system allows for easy removal and reorganization of individual specimens.
Expert Provenance & Rarity:
• Identified by Expert: Features specimens identified by noted British shark expert Dave Ward.
• Key Specimens: Includes Isurus desori (Mako), Striatolamia macrota (Sand Tiger), and Eotrigonodon serratus "fish claws" (pharyngeal teeth).
Important Note on Scale:
This is a Micro-fossil collection. These specimens are diminutive, ranging approximately from 2mm to 15mm. They are prized for their exquisite detail, perfect for viewing under a loupe or microscope.

• Photo Note: I was limited to featuring only 25 photos ( maximum). The main image shows the complete collection in the display case. The subsequent collages show front/back details of many specimens and their associated labels alongside a penny for scale comparison. Please refer to the list above, as many individual items are aggregated in group shots to fit the listing constraints.
Shipping:
The display case will be securely bubble-wrapped to prevent cracking, and extra care will be taken to ensure the individual screw-top vials remain snug in their compartments during transit.
It's a nice collection that I'm tempted to keep for myself. FYI.
