Carcharocles angustidens Tooth

This is an uncommon US shark tooth. It is an excellent Carcharocles angustidens - extinct precursor to the giant Carcharocles megalodon. This tooth is in fine condition, with the enamel beautifully preserved. The large serrations are awesome and easily seen. The root is robust and is in great shape. The enamel of the tooth is the classic dark grey color. And the other side of the tooth displays very well, also. This is a very nice example of this unusual fossil shark tooth.
