Isurus xiphodon  -  Big-tooth Mako Catalog #2

Tooth Size  =  2" to 2-9/16"

This catalog contains very nice and extra large teeth from the Big-tooth Mako shark, Isurus xiphodon (aka Isurus hastalis - wide form).  Isurus xiphodon teeth are noted for their extra wide triangular crowns and rectangular, heavy roots. These teeth exhibit tan, orange, pink, gray or blue colored crowns with tan to mahogany-red roots. There are new light blue crown and tan to white root teeth coming on the market now. They are very showy, making them an excellent addition to your Mako shark tooth collection. Note - these teeth have been cleaned of matrix (very difficult) and do not show any of the mineral discoloration common to many of the Chilean Makos on the market. These are top quality Mako teeth from Chile. No repair in this group!

Note - all teeth sizes are slant height unless otherwise noted. Click on photos to enlarge. Catalog updated November 14, 2010.  An excellent group of top quality Mako teeth. Now adding teeth from my old inventory.
