3.9 cm tooth of Cosmopolitodus hastalis from Chile

The 3,9 cm tooth of Cosmopolitodus hastalis (Mako - Shark) is a nice example for the richness of colors of the fossil finds from Chile. In the Atacama salt desert in northern Chile very beautiful and colorful shark teeth have been found for some time. These are rarely offered on the European market. The teeth found there are characterized by their very beautiful color, as well as impressive preservation and a very hard enamel. For years there is an export ban on the part of Chile for fossils of all kinds, which is why it is becoming increasingly difficult to get these great shark teeth.
