This is an absolutely fabulous fossilized shark tooth. It is a HUGE Carcharocles megalodon shark tooth from Aurora, North Carolina. This tooth has been in a major fossil collection for years! Megalodon teeth from North Carolina are very scarce, to say the least, but ones of this size and quality are almost never found. The overall quality of this tooth is simply impeccable. The very tip is intact and pointy, and the serrations are fully intact and razor-sharp. In other words, the serrations and tip of this tooth are flawless - perfect! The root is very solid and robust, and is extemely thick and 3-dimensionally preserved. The classic blond coloration of the enamel is wonderfully displayed - it is simply beautiful. If you were to have just one fossil shark tooth in your collection, this specimen would be an excellent choice, a no-brainer. It is one of those special fossils that is practically irreplaceable.
