 "Diffused" lighting was used for these photos, to reduce glare and better show color and detail.  The tooth's enamel will appear more glossy in person, than it does in the photos.

Description - Most dealers would describe this as a 2 3/4" tooth.  It's extremely close.  At first glance, this tooth might look a bit like a Georgia river tooth, but look again.  While brown is the dominant color, you will see shades of red/rust that are not seen in Georgia teeth.  Condition is quite good, with no major damage to the root or blade.  There is slight damage/separation at the root/blade border on each side and a bit of overall smoothing, caused by the river.  If your collection doesn't yet have a "brown" Mako, this tooth would bring not only the brown, but size, anterior jaw position, good condition and some bonus red/rust hues (most visible on the back).
