Own a genuine relic from one of the ocean’s earliest giant predators. This authentic Otodus obliquus shark tooth on matrix comes from the famous phosphate deposits of the Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, Morocco, one of the world’s richest fossil regions. Otodus obliquus lived during the Paleocene to early Eocene, around 60 to 45 million years ago, ruling prehistoric seas not long after the dinosaurs vanished. An early relative in the evolutionary line that would eventually lead to Megalodon, this powerful shark is estimated to have grown 9 to 12 metres (30–40 feet) in length before disappearing from the fossil record in the middle Eocene.

This is a real fossil shark tooth, expertly prepared and displayed on the original sedimentary matrix in which it was discovered. The surrounding rock represents the ancient seabed that preserved the tooth for millions of years, maintaining its natural geological context and enhancing its authenticity. The well-preserved triangular crown and strong root showcase the classic features that make Otodus obliquus one of the most sought-after prehistoric shark fossils.

Perfect for collectors, educators, and lovers of prehistoric life, this Moroccan Otodus obliquus shark tooth fossil is more than a display piece — it’s a preserved moment from Earth’s deep past and a direct connection to one of the ocean’s earliest apex predators.

Add this extraordinary piece of deep-time history to your display.
