This authentic Otodus obliquus shark tooth on matrix is a remarkable fossil from the ancient seas of Morocco. Preserved within its original sedimentary rock, this prehistoric shark tooth offers a rare glimpse into the world shortly after the extinction of the dinosaurs.

The beautifully preserved crown and root highlight the classic features prized by fossil collectors and natural history enthusiasts. Displayed on its natural matrix, this genuine fossil shark tooth retains its geological context, adding both scientific and visual appeal.
