Whaler’s Locker loves everything shark, especially the fossilized teeth. Each one so unique. It is long believed that shark teeth are a symbol of strength, intelligence and perseverance. This tooth is from an extinct species of mako shark. The modern mako measures approximately 10 feet in length and swims up 42 miles per hour making it the fastest shark in the ocean. The word mako comes the Māori language and means either a shark tooth or the shark. This tooth has a black root to with a grey ombré crown. This striking fossil mako tooth pendant measures approximately 1 5/16” from root to tip on the longest edge. The bale is made from heavy gauge sterling silver hard wire. The shark tooth shown is the exact tooth you will receive. Although a cord or chain is not included, Whaler's Locker has a fantastic selection to choose from on this link! Reference code: STFP45
