Holding this Paleocene Otodus Obliquus Tooth Fossil is like stepping back into an ocean that existed nearly 60 million years ago. Otodus obliquus was one of the first giant sharks to dominate the prehistoric seas after the extinction of the dinosaurs.

This authentic fossil shark tooth from Morocco was uncovered in the world-famous Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, where ancient marine sediments have preserved fossils for millions of years. The tooth’s smooth edges, triangular shape, and fossilised root make it an exceptional example of this fascinating prehistoric species.

Ideal for beginner collectors and fossil enthusiasts alike, this prehistoric shark tooth fossil also makes a thoughtful and educational gift for anyone who loves natural history and ancient life.
