This is a VERY RARE and BEAUTIFUL Carcharocles ANGUSTIDENS SHARK Tooth Fossil from South Carolina. It measures OVER 2-3/4 inches long. OUTSTANDING COLOR!!! Very ATTRACTIVE with a lot of character! Outstanding preservation and NICE serrations! ANGUSTIDENS was an early ancestor of the Megalodon Shark. Angustidens did not grow as big as the more widely known Megalodon but it was still without a doubt THE apex predator of the Oligocene Period. We can identify this species because of the distinctive side cusps located at the edge of the tooth w the root corners meet the blade. This species is very often mistakenly identified as Carcharocles Auriculatus which is even older at about 30 to 50 million years. Angustidens usually has a flatter root but some times can be nearly impossible to distiguish from it's ancestor C. Auriculatus. Many times you have to rely upon the age of the sediment in which the specimen was found to determine the species. This tooth is estimated to be around 15 to 20 million years old based on the sediment compared to the Megalodon at a mere 3 to 10 million years. Angustidens teeth are FAR more rare than the Megalodon and high quality specimens read more
