Pathologic Lee Creek Mako Shark Tooth

Many mako teeth are found at Lee Creek. Though very nice, I didn't notice anything special about this tooth until after I showed my finds to Pat Y. and I was on the bus, still in disbelief that I actually made it up the ramp after a hard day of collecting. I took this tooth out of my pouch and began scraping away the dirt from the blade with my thumbnail. I felt something hard, like limestone attached to the blade. On closer examination, it was actually what I can best describe as serrations growing from the front of the blade! They appear on both edges of the lingual side and you can easily see them in the pictures. A truly unique find!
