SILVER MOTTLED  PEARLESCENT ENAMEL FOSSIL MAKO SHARK TOOTH

St. Mary's River, Georgia, U.S.A.

LOWER MIOCENE PERIOD:  23 million years ago

This fossil shark tooth is of the extinct Mako shark called Isurus hastalis.  This prehistoric shark is a member of the White Shark family.  Teeth from Isurus hastalis look remarkably similar to the modern Great White Shark less the serrations.  Little is known about this species and it is classified in the genus Isurus (Mako) due to its characteristic smooth edges.  Some consider this shark the "Grandfather of the Great White".

Fossil Mako shark teeth with this enamel chatoyancy and color are very rare and from very few sites in the U.S.A..  Those sites are closely guarded and kept secret by the divers that know them.  One famous site known for producing fossil shark teeth with stunning spotted and mottled enamel in beautiful colors is the St. Mary's River in Georgia, U.S.A..  This beautiful specimen possesses a highly reflective chatoyant enamel with pearly mint green and yellowish undertones.  Tooth is complete and of the finest quality.  There is NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
