Authentic Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth from Morocco

Before the Megalodon: A True Giant of Prehistoric Seas

This authentic Otodus obliquus shark tooth fossil comes from the renowned phosphate deposits near Khouribga, Morocco, one of the world’s most important fossil-producing regions. Measuring 47mm wide and 49mm long, this well-preserved tooth represents one of the ocean’s earliest mega-predators.

Otodus obliquus lived during the Paleocene to early Eocene epochs, approximately 60–50 million years ago, shortly after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This powerful shark is widely regarded as an early ancestor of the famous Megalodon. Its distinctive smooth cutting edges—lacking serrations—were perfectly adapted for slicing through flesh, making it a dominant hunter in ancient seas.

These teeth were preserved when sharks naturally shed them during feeding. Over millions of years, they became buried in marine sediments that later transformed into Morocco’s phosphate layers. Modern mining operations carefully recover these fossils, revealing snapshots of prehistoric life once hidden beneath the ocean floor.

Highly collectible and scientifically significant, Otodus obliquus teeth are cornerstone specimens for fossil enthusiasts, educators, and serious collectors alike.

Add this genuine prehistoric shark tooth to your collection today and own a tangible relic from Earth’s ancient oceans.
