Without a doubt, this tooth is exactly the way it came out of the shark's mouth millions of years ago. The highest degree of preservation on this pale green tooth. There is some feeding damage to one side of the tooth, but this is the way the shark left it. The enamel flows seamlessly into the root on both sides. Virtually void of hydration cracks anywhere on the tooth. The feeding damage keeps this tooth from being MUCH more expensive. If you want an example of a tooth that exibits near perfect preservation then this is the one and it won't break the bank.
