Name:
Carcharocles angustidens Tooth
Age: Oligocene
Formation: Chandler Bridge
Location: South Carolina
Size: Tooth is about 1.8 inches long
This is a great example of an uncommon US shark tooth. It is an excellent Carcharocles angustidens - extinct precursor to the giant Carcharocles megalodon. This tooth is in beautiful condition, with the enamel wonderfully preserved. The large serrations and cusps are easily seen, and the root is quite robust. The natural color of this tooth is quite beautiful. And the other side of the tooth displays well, also. This is a very nice example of this unusual fossil shark tooth.
