Discover a genuine piece of prehistoric ocean history with this authentic Otodus obliquus fossil tooth on natural matrix from Morocco. Dating back approximately 60 to 45 million years, Otodus obliquus swam the ancient seas during the Paleocene and Early Eocene, becoming one of the first giant apex predators after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This remarkable species is considered an early ancestor in the evolutionary line that eventually led to the mighty Megalodon.

Found in the world-famous Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, this fossil tooth was preserved within ancient seabed sediments for millions of years. The natural matrix surrounding the tooth represents the original ocean floor where this prehistoric shark once lived, adding scientific and visual value to the specimen. Its distinctive triangular crown and preserved root make it a striking example of this sought-after fossil species.

Perfect for fossil collectors, educators, and prehistoric enthusiasts, this authentic Moroccan shark tooth fossil makes a fascinating display piece and unforgettable gift. Secure this genuine fossil treasure for your collection today.
