This is a fabulous example of an uncommon US shark tooth. It is an excellent Carcharocles angustidens - extinct precursor to the giant Carcharocles megalodon. This tooth is in great condition, with the enamel and two distinct cusps beautifully preserved. The large serrations are easily seen, and the root is quite robust. The color of this tooth is simply beautiful. And the other side of the tooth displays well, also. This is a very fine example of this unusual fossil shark tooth.
