Own a genuine piece of prehistoric American wildlife with this authentic fossilized alligator tooth recovered by divers from the rivers of North Florida and South Georgia. These ancient waterways have preserved countless fossils for thousands of years, creating a rich record of the animals that once thrived throughout the Southeast.
Alligators are among the oldest surviving reptiles on Earth, with ancestors dating back more than 80 million years. Often called "living fossils," modern alligators closely resemble their prehistoric relatives that shared the planet with dinosaurs. Their powerful jaws, muscular bodies, and razor-sharp teeth have made them highly successful predators for millions of years.
Designed for gripping and holding prey rather than chewing, alligator teeth are naturally conical and incredibly durable. As alligators lose and replace thousands of teeth throughout their lives, fossilized teeth are among the most sought-after remains found in ancient river deposits.
Each tooth is a unique specimen, displaying natural coloration and preservation acquired over centuries beneath the riverbed. Your fossil comes securely housed in a protective Riker display case, making it ready for display in any fossil collection, classroom, office, or curiosity cabinet.
