4 1/8" Angustidens Shark Tooth

This is another of those teeth I'll never forget finding. I was wearing my glasses because my eyes were all messed up from the flu, so I could barely see. I was walking down the road that is around the perimeter of the pond, and I spotted this thing sticking straight out of the ground. My first thought is always "Please be whole", but I controlled my jubiliation and took a picture of it in the ground for future generations to behold ;-) This thing is glorious! 4 1/8" long, 3 1/2" wide and completely serrated. It has 100% of its bourlette, which is fantastically colored. The root is amazingly preserved with only two minor surface scars on the back. The enamel is incredible looking - I can't even begin to describe the mixture of colors. Only the very tip serration is missing. What a fantastic find!
