Otodus Obliquus - Giant Prehistoric Shark Tooth for Fossil Collectors

Unleash Ancient Power: Magnificent Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil

This spectacular fossilized tooth belonged to one of prehistory's most formidable predators – the mighty Otodus obliquus shark. Measuring an impressive 40mm wide by 47mm high, this golden-tan fossil showcases the distinctive triangular crown and robust root structure that made these ancient hunters so effective.

Otodus obliquus dominated the world's oceans between 62 and 37 million years ago during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. These massive sharks could reach lengths of up to 30 feet, making them apex predators of their time. Their powerful jaws were lined with razor-sharp teeth designed for slicing through the flesh of marine reptiles, early whales, and large fish.

This remarkable specimen was discovered in the phosphate deposits near Khouribga, Morocco – an area that was once covered by ancient seas. Over millions of years, sediments buried fallen teeth, and mineral-rich waters gradually replaced the original tooth material with lasting stone, preserving every detail of this prehistoric marvel.

What was once the floor of an ancient ocean is now part of the Sahara Desert, where these incredible fossils are carefully extracted and prepared for collectors worldwide.

Add this genuine piece of prehistoric ocean life to your collection today – own a tooth that once belonged to a true giant of the ancient seas!
