Prehistoric Perfection: Premium Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil
This outstanding Otodus Obliquus shark tooth fossil measures an impressive 50mm high by 47mm wide, showcasing the classic triangular crown with its characteristic lateral cusps and well-preserved root system. The specimen displays beautiful cream coloration with distinct growth lines and natural fracture patterns that highlight its ancient origins.
Otodus Obliquus was a massive prehistoric shark that terrorized ancient oceans approximately 60-45 million years ago during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. These apex predators could grow up to 30 feet in length, rivaling modern great whites in size and ferocity. Their powerful jaws were armed with serrated teeth like this specimen, perfectly evolved for slicing through the flesh of large marine prey.
This incredible fossil formed when the shark's tooth settled into ocean sediments and underwent mineralization over millions of years. As tectonic forces reshaped the Earth and ancient seas retreated, former ocean floors became exposed land. The phosphate-rich deposits near Khouribga, Morocco, once part of the prehistoric Tethys Sea, now yield these extraordinary windows into our planet's distant past.
