Description from the seller

Beautiful Hemipristis serra tooth measuring 4.2 cm, a size larger than the average specimens from Sukabumi.
The tooth has a tall, slender crown with an almost intact tip and fine, sharp serrations along both cutting edges, a characteristic detail of this iconic extinct predatory shark.
The crown displays an attractive ivory-white/yellow color with warm natural tones at the base, which beautifully contrasts with the robust, fossilised root.
Thanks to the excellent preservation and above-average length, this is a striking and representative specimen.
An excellent addition for any collector of quality fossil shark teeth.
