Discover a genuine piece of prehistoric ocean history with this authentic Otodus obliquus shark tooth fossil preserved on natural matrix from Morocco. Dating back approximately 60 to 45 million years, Otodus obliquus was one of the earliest giant sharks to dominate Earth’s oceans after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This powerful predator is considered an important ancestor in the evolutionary lineage that eventually led to the legendary Megalodon, making it a fascinating relic from the dawn of giant sharks.
Recovered from the famous Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, this remarkable fossil tooth remained buried within ancient seabed sediments for millions of years. The surrounding natural matrix preserves part of the prehistoric ocean floor where the fossil formed, maintaining its geological authenticity and adding striking display appeal. Its broad triangular crown and strong root showcase the distinctive features collectors admire in Otodus obliquus fossils.
Perfect for fossil collectors, educators, and lovers of natural history, this authentic shark tooth fossil makes an impressive display piece and unforgettable gift. Add this extraordinary piece of deep-time history to your collection today.
