The extinct Carcharocles angustidens species of shark is the first in the lineage of extinct Great White Sharks and is considered the second generation of giant White sharks preceding the notorious C. megalodon shark. This shark shows features of its teeth that later Meg dropped, namely, the cusplets flanking the crown.
This is a TOP COLLECTOR GRADE Angustidens tooth with nice colors and serrations. It is complete and unbroken with both intact side cusplets. The naturally lustrous enamel is accentuated by the beautiful root and bourlette. Not many Angustidens teeth are this nice. NO MACHINE POLISHING, RESTORATION OR REPAIR.
