RARE INVESTMENT GRADE 2.4 INCH FOSSIL GREAT WHITE SHARK TOOTH FROM THE U.S. WITH RARE ANATOMY Ace River Basin - South Carolina, U.S.A. MIOCENE to PLIOCENE PERIOD: 15 - 1.81 million years ago Fossil Great White shark teeth from the U.S.A. of fine grades, are highly uncommon and rare in the Miocene /Pliocene layers. It seems that during the reign of C. megalodon, Carcharodon carcharias was keeping a low profile and for a good reason, Megalodon was much larger with just as bad an attitude if not worse. Fine grade fossil GREAT WHITE SHARK teeth from the United States are very difficult to find for sale. The vast majority of fossil Great White Shark teeth are from SOUTH AMERICA and are abundant of extremely fine quality. These teeth are no where near as rare as American fossil teeth of this species and cannot be compared in the least. Furthermore, there are even many more Megalodon fossil shark teeth found than Great White fossil shark teeth in U.S.A. deposits making such teeth a prize to collect and display when offered for sale. A North American fossil Carcharodon carcharias tooth is considered large when it reaches 2 inches. Very large specimens over 2.5 inches are seldom found and when they are, they are usually of very poor quality with damage and/or poor preservation. This specimen is just under 2.5" and is the most incredibly well-preserved and most beautiful specimen we have ever listed. The serrations are extreme and display very sharp, unworn edges. The tip is intact and sharp. There is rare anatomy on the base of the crown and root with a "winged" process on the side similar to late-evolved Megalodon teeth. The tip shows a stunning blue pattern and color on BOTH sides of the crown as shown above. A fossil tooth this size would have come from an incredibly large prehistoric Great White shark. A tooth of this length is even rare for South America but to find a tooth this size from the U.S. is an extremely rare find and in this quality and color, a true investment specimen!!! This is the kind of tooth that shark tooth dealers keep for their own collection. We do not collect fossils but if we did, this would not be one we would part with! There is NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION. The features found on this tooth may seem subtle in several ways but it is these subtle conditions that can DRAMATICALLY affect fossil shark teeth for the most advanced collectors. This large fossil Great White tooth represents one of those rare life chances to add a highly unusual and stunning beauty NOT from South America but from a U.S.A. river! ULTRA-CHOICE GRADE 10 INVESTMENT SPECIMEN IN EVERY WAY - FINEST WE EVER OFFERED! BEAUTIFUL COLOR, PATTERN SERRATIONS ON THIS GREAT WHITE TOOTH NOT FROM SOUTH AMERICA! 2.4" in length on the diagonal edge SOLD SH21-010 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
