Otodus Obliquus - 65 Million Year Old Shark Tooth Fossil Specimen

Ancient Ocean Giant: Complete Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil

This exceptional Otodus Obliquus shark tooth fossil measures 46mm high by 50mm wide, featuring a beautifully preserved triangular crown with distinctive lateral cusps and a robust root system. The specimen displays stunning golden-brown coloration with clearly visible growth ridges that tell the story of this prehistoric predator's life.

Otodus Obliquus was a colossal shark that dominated ancient seas approximately 60-45 million years ago during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. These magnificent creatures could reach lengths of up to 30 feet, making them among the most formidable apex predators of their time. Their massive jaws were lined with razor-sharp teeth like this specimen, perfectly designed for capturing large marine prey.

This remarkable fossil formed when the shark's tooth was rapidly buried in ocean sediments, where minerals gradually replaced the original material over millions of years. As geological forces shifted and ancient seas receded, what was once the ocean floor became the Sahara Desert. Today, the phosphate mines near Khouribga, Morocco reveal these incredible treasures from Earth's prehistoric past.
