    For sale is a Carcharias holmdelensis (sand-tiger) fossil shark tooth in coquina (shell hash, limestone) matrix. This specimen was collected from the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in central Arkansas and is uniquely exposed on the bedding plane. Fossil teeth, bones, and phosphate, such as that seen in this specimen, was concentrated along with invertebrate fossils in an ancient shallow marine environment. The specimen and exposed shark tooth are sturdy and no preparation, glue, or coatings have been applied.
