2 5/8" Fossil Carcharocles auriculatus shark tooth

Its a little worn, but these are so tough to come by in any decent state of preservation that I feel extremely fortunate to have found this tooth. Especially considering the awful collecting area. These have got to be my favorite teeth. The roots fascinate me - they only seem to look like this from the various quarries. There are some NC river rics around, but to me they look more like angustidens.
