This is an uncommon US shark tooth. It is an excellent Carcharocles angustidens - extinct precursor to the giant Carcharocles megalodon. This tooth is in great condition, although there is a small ding on the tip of the tooth. The large serrations are awesome and are easily seen. The root is robust and is in great shape. The color of this tooth is simply beautiful. And the other side of the tooth displays well, also. This is a top quality example of this unusual fossil shark tooth.
