    Amazing sight. Can you explain how it normally looks? I'm assuming this one is opened to show the internal structures? Posted 9 years ago

      This is a normal, front-on view and slightly from below to best show the teeth. Sorry my cam is broken and can't afford another. The focus is messed up so I just snap 50 and hope to get 1 Posted 9 years ago

        Wow, I had assumed you sliced it in half to show it like this, somehow the photos gave me that idea. Posted 9 years ago
