This is a FINEST GRADE fossil incisor tooth of a large adult Pleistocene jaguar, Panthera onca.  This rare specimen is in immaculate preservation and with a amazingly well-preserved dense root and complete crown.  The enamel is a dark coffee brown with black and gold accents.    Whether needed to restore a skull, as a rare addition to a North American apex predator fossil collection or for the ultimate centerpiece of a jewelry pendant or talisman, this is a superb example.  The root is a near black-brown and the crown is a mottled mix of green, blue, brown and gray.  Tooth is AS FOUND. NO REPAIR and NO RESTORATION.

Pleistocene cat fossils from North America are amongst the most prized by advanced collectors.  Not only is the attraction to these animals driven by the romance of their fierce predatory nature, but fossils of prehistoric felines are very rare and seldom available for sale.  High quality and intact specimens without restoration are even MORE rare.  Felids represent many of the apex predators of their day in prehistory just like today.  As mostly solitary hunters, their fossil remains are amongst the rarest of all vertebrate fossils simply due to the low numbers of the animals when alive in the wild.
