This is a very collectible fossil shark tooth from Aurora. It is an outstanding Carcharocles megalodon tooth from the famous Lee Creek Mine of North Carolina. Megalodon teeth from North Carolina are becoming very scarce, since public fossil collecting was curtailed a few years ago. This tooth is extremely robust and has a very solid and substantial root. The tip and serrations are near-perfectly preserved and razor-sharp. The enamel of the tooth is fully intact and has gorgeous natural coloration. The unique shape of the tooth is clearly defined, and both sides of the tooth display beautifully. This is a top-quality tooth that we recently obtained from a major collection.
