Scuba Matrix Mako

Description

Around coastal South Carolina where I collect, it is very rare to find a fossil shark tooth in matrix, so each one is a treat to find. I almost missed this tooth because I saw the rock side first. My eyes are trained to ignore the rocks and look for smooth edges and pointy things so when I saw this in the river I had to do a double take. This is an Isurus desori mako tooth and it has a beautiful color pattern across the display side.
