Size
- 3.24"
Location
- Ica, Peru
Age
- Late Eocene - Appx 38-40 million years old
Remarks
- Beyond rarely offered, large, sharply serrated 3.24" long fossil sokolowi tooth found in the deserts of Peru. You almost NEVER find one of these complete and unrepaired and this is no exception although it's a really good looking example for sure with only minimal work done. Corner glued and a little restoration on the root - it's probably 96-98% natural which makes it one of the most complete we've ever had from here. These have always been pretty much the most difficult species to obtain from Peru as they were only found in one very small area. The coolest thing is these are almost absolutely IDENTICAL to the teeth that are found halfway across the world in Kazakhstan. You won't see these for sale anymore so get one if you can. Old collection piece legally exported over 30 years ago. 100% authentic. Winning bidder to receive full geological data on all teeth.
Winning bidder in the United States will receive free shipping (by First Class or Priority Mail w/delivery confirmation within the USA only). International customers are responsible for shipping costs by AirMail or Priority Mail. Credit cards are accepted. Thanks for viewing and your bid.
99% of the teeth we sell are new to the market and have not been bought from other dealers or shopped around at shows. We acquire the teeth either by buying direct from divers who sell exclusively to our company or by diving ourselves (but we don't use that as a marketing gimmick.....does it really matter whether I found a particular tooth or someone else did if you like it and the price is fair?). So what you are seeing here has not been offered before and you will be either the 2nd or 3rd owner of a very cool and collectible piece of history.
International customers are responsible for any customs duty charged by your country to import (if applicable, many countries have no duty or fairly high dollar requirements before one is charged). We are NOT responsible for nor do we have control of ANY of these charges and legally can not and will not alter the customs declaration. However our products are priced quite fairly and usually you will still pay less (often considerably less) for a tooth from us even after paying duty than from most other sellers so keep that in mind when purchasing.
