LG Bakersfield Mako 2.67"

LG Bakersfield Mako 2.67"This large Carcharodon hastalis (extinct Mako) tooth is truly one of a kind! It has stunning coloration, with some dark spots from natural manganese staining. Found in "Cali Cove" Bakersfield, California. Collected between 1 26 1964 and 1968. It is a lower, 2nd anterior position. It also phosphoresces under UV light due to high concentrations of phosphatic minerals and trace elements, which absorb UV energy and re release it as visible light. No
