This is a complete fossil tooth from an unidentified extinct Odontocete (toothed whale) from the Miocene Period.  Science readily admits it is difficult to accurately attribute isolated teeth such as these to a specific species.  A specimen such as this is perfect to display alongside a shark tooth collection as this creature would have shared the same waters and time period as many of the dangerous sharks found off the East Coast of North America during the Miocene / Pliocene including the infamous MEGALODON  shark.  

Rarely are these type fossil teeth found available for sale but when they are, they are almost always horribly worn or partial specimens.  This is a superb example!  It is in better preservation than usually seen with a complete root and sharp, unbroken tip.  Tooth is unbroken and full root is present including the hollow delicate base as seen above.   Rare and unusual.  Intact with NO REPAIR and NO RESTORATION.
