5,55 cm reddish tooth of great white shark from Chile

The 5.55 cm tooth of the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) has a wonderful reddish coloration, both of the root and the tooth crown.

In the Atacama salt desert in northern Chile, very beautiful and richly colored 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.
