description |
|
A rare association to get a crushing tooth and a fin spine on the same piece of stone. The type of shark is a Ctenacanthus and was first described by "Agassiz 1835". The tooth especially has lovely patina and surface detail. This famous Carboniferous locality has been abandoned for over 60 years and is now heavily overgrown, any specimens are very difficult to collect and permission sought. One for the serious and discerning collector of extremely rare English Carboniferous shark material. Collected in 1959, this piece has resided in the late Professor GORDON WALKDEN collection. Approximately 345 million years old. |
