Not only is this the World Record but it is an absolute freak of nature by any standard. This specimen is the World Record, not by 1/100th of an inch, but by a landslide. This is the equivalent to unearthing an 8 inch plus Megalodon Shark Tooth -- it blows anything and everything out of the water in comparison. Ever heard of anything even coming close to 5 inches? Never! This is an absolute Monster. Is it Perfect? We should only wish to be that lucky. It is amazing that this specimen was even discovered...let alone expecting it to be flawless. There is some feeding wear to one side of the blade, as well as one missing cusp, but asking for this specimen to be without flaws would simply be asking to much. The root itself is damn near perfect and is over 1.50 inches THICK! Like I said, an absolute Monster! The enamel is glossy and a good 95% intact -- an amazing characteristic in itself.
Once while at Steve Alter's residence and holding his World Record Great White in my hand I asked, "What do you figure this thing to be worth?" He replied, "Anything I want it to be....it is the World Record....there is only one."
And he was right.
Sharks teeth are not rare coins or baseball cards. There is no independent third party to take these ultra rare specimens to and have them appraised. In a nut shell, this specimen's value, a World Record specimen's value, is determined by only two things....1) What price it will take in order to pry it from my hands and 2) What price someone is willing to pay to own it.
That is just a straight forward answer. I am not going to attempt to hype this tooth up on the hopes of selling it because to be honest....I don't care if it ever sells -- it's the World Record.
