7.1 cm cream colored giant Mako shark tooth from USA

This giant of a Cosmopolitodus hastalis is exceptionally well preserved. It was found in the now closed Aurora phosphate mine in North Carolina. This bright and strong color is unique and can be found almost exclusively in these special mines in the USA or rarely also in the Atacama Desert of Chile. Depending on the incidence of light, the blue colorations can be seen wonderfully.
