1 3/16" P. rutoti Tooth

This tooth came to rest behind a partially buried log in 2 feet of water. I knew the tooth was not the usual Carcharias tooth when I found it, but I also thought the enamel was damaged - I didn’t pay it much attention. After returning home, I realized that what I assumed was a notch of broken enamel at the base of the blade, was actually the normal shape of the tooth, formed by a single serration-like bump. The tooth turned out to be a Palaeohypotodus rutoti and in near perfect condition! Not the showiest tooth but certainly a trip maker!
