07579 - Great 2.62 Inch Hybodus Shark Dorsal Spine Cretaceous KemKem Beds

†Hybodus sp, Agassiz 1837 (elasmobranch)
Chondrichthyes - Hybodontiformes - Hybodontidae

Beautiful spine corresponding to the dorsal fin of this incredible shark that reigned the seas and the fluvial systems next to the coast during all the Mesozoic Era. It is a species of shark that presented particular features, such as this sharp spine in its flipper. The preservation of this piece is very good, and the strong and well defined longitudinal stretch marks can be observed. Its fossilization color has gorgeous orangish shades. It has some glued and filled fractures.
