Own a genuine fossil tooth from one of the prehistoric relatives of today's great white shark.

This specimen features a beautifully preserved triangular crown with the smooth, unserrated edges characteristic of hastalis, along with a substantial fossilized root. Its natural coloration and preservation make it an attractive example for a fossil, shark tooth or natural history collection.
