Offered from the Fox Estate Collection is a fascinating vintage framed display featuring a large collection of fossil tooth specimens, including numerous examples with the distinctive forms of fossil shark teeth.
The specimens are arranged in multiple compartments against a rich red fabric backing and protected beneath glass. The collection contains hundreds of individual small specimens in varying shapes, colors and sizes, ranging from dark gray and charcoal to brown, tan and reddish tones.
The dense arrangement creates an unusual and eye-catching natural-history display, making this an especially interesting piece for collectors of fossils, shark teeth, natural history specimens, or cabinet-of-curiosities style objects.
Several of the specimens are particularly easy to appreciate through the close-up photographs, where their individual shapes, coloration and fossilized surfaces can be seen.
No specific shark species, geographic origin, or geological formation is being assigned to the specimens because there is no accompanying provenance or identification card with the piece.
The display is housed in its original-looking framed presentation with a gold-tone frame, red compartment backing and glass front.
A wonderful conversation piece for a collector, study, office, library, or natural-history-inspired display.
