2 5/16" Angustidens Tooth

This is one of the first teeth I found that could qualify as perfect. I was digging in a hole very carefully because I thought I had found a whale skull, and I managed to pull this out whole. What I was digging for turned out to be a large rock. Back then, I didn't really know much about teeth, I just knew this was a nice one. It has a great dark grey enamel, a perfect root and bourlette, sharp cusps, serrations, and tip. Only 3 or 4 missing serrations hold this one from the coveted 100% grade.
