Fossil jaws of Edestus heinrichi, the “scissor-toothed shark,” are exceptionally rare and highly sought after. This extinct genus of shark-like fish from the Carboniferous period is known for its unique, curved, scissor-like teeth arrangement. Most fossil discoveries of Edestus consist only of isolated teeth or partial jaw structures, as the cartilaginous skeletons of these ancient creatures do not fossilize well compared to bones. Consequently, complete or well-preserved jaw fossils are considered extraordinary finds, making them valuable to collectors and paleontologists alike.
