4.7 cm blue gray great white shark tooth

The 4.7 cm blue-gray tooth shows nicely preserved serration and has an almost completely preserved root. On the coast of South Africa mainly teeth of Carcharodon carcharias are found.

Presumably, they originate from a phosphate deposit that runs in the sea along the coast. This is probably also where the predominantly dark coloration of the enamel comes from.
