The wooden stand is included and is brand new (despite my having smeared the brass a bit with a fingerprint when I photographed it.)
It also comes with a little laminated information card and I will include at least a half dozen smaller identified fossil shark teeth from other species (not shown below).
I have several megalodons and dozens if not hundreds of shark teeth from my local area, but this happens to be the largest I have on hand at the moment.
It was found last summer by a friend of mine, very near where I live.
It originated in dredge spoil material taken from the bottom of Saint Simons Sound here in coastal Georgia.
I haven't measured this one, but it's in the neighborhood of five inches or so; basically hand-sized.
There's a chip on one corner and a little peeling/flaking on the bourrelet (front face), but it's a basically intact tooth, uncleaned and exactly as found.
With this size, were the condition a bit better, this would possibly be a $500+ fossil.
As is, it's still got a fierce, prehistoric vibe to it, and lots of serrations along the edges.
***SOLD***
But there are more where this came from. Not quite as big, and that was the only stand I had for the moment, but I've got hundreds more fossils, mostly shark teeth, as I live at the source. If you're interested, shoot me a PM.
