LARGE 2.5 INCH FOSSIL ISURUS HASTALIS EXTINCT WHITE SHARK TOOTH

St. Mary's River, Georgia, U.S.A.

LOWER MIOCENE PERIOD:  23 million years ago

This fossil shark tooth is of the extinct Mako shark called Isurus hastalis.  This prehistoric shark is a member of the White Shark family.  Teeth from Isurus hastalis look remarkably similar to the modern Great White Shark less the serrations.  Little is known about this species and it is classified in the genus Isurus (Mako) due to its characteristic smooth edges.  Some consider this shark the "Grandfather of the Great White".

Fossil Isusurs shark teeth of this size are rather rare when complete like this.  This beautiful specimen possesses a highly reflective chatoyant enamel with pearly mint blue-green and yellowish undertones.  Tooth is complete and of the finest quality.  There is NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
