This Parotodus benedeni tooth remains mounted on the original Round Mountain Silt matrix and it is sitting on a chunk of whale bone. The crown enamel has very good luster and very sharp edges. Highest quality enamel! Note - a small (~1/8") tip repair was professionally done. A very difficult tooth to locate and an EXCEPTIONAL Collector's tooth! Authenticity guaranteed.
