Few years ago I found this nice small 1" goblin shark tooth fossil (Scapanorhynchus texanus) in the sand, and it had a very little second outgrowth tooth, like on the second picture. But this little tooth had broke off and lost (look on the first picture). So, is it a problem and will it affect on this fossil's value, or is it OK?

We don't discuss value here on the Forum.

That said, damage does affect value.  To what degree can be debated elsewhere.

Condition, preservation,  and completeness all affect value.
