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 Megalodon dropped, namely, the cusplets flanking the crown.
This is a COLLECTOR GRADE Angustidens tooth unique patterns, fine colors and overall, excellent preservation. It is complete and unbroken with both unbroken side cusplets. The naturally lustrous enamel is accentuated by the beautiful jet black root. NO MACHINE POLISHING, RESTORATION OR REPAIR.
