Isurus retroflexus

These some of the finest examples of the rare Isurus retroflexus that I have seen. The crowns are very wide and the enameloid build up "shoulders" on the reverse side of the root is very pronounced and elevation off of the root face is significant. No mistaking these teeth. This is an incredible selection of rare extra large, Miocene age beauties. Some of the finest specimens that I have seen!
