Travel back to the ancient seas of the Paleocene with this authentic Otodus obliquus shark tooth fossil on natural matrix from Morocco. Living between 60 and 45 million years ago, Otodus obliquus was one of the ocean’s first giant apex predators after the extinction of the dinosaurs. This powerful shark is considered an early ancestor in the evolutionary line that eventually led to the legendary Megalodon, making it an important piece of shark evolution and fossil history.

Discovered in the fossil-rich Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, Morocco, this genuine tooth remained buried within ancient seabed sediments for millions of years. The surrounding matrix preserves the fossil in its natural geological context, adding authenticity and visual appeal. Its well-preserved triangular crown and sturdy root showcase the classic features collectors admire.

Perfect for fossil collectors, educators, and lovers of prehistoric life, this remarkable specimen makes a fascinating display piece and unforgettable gift. Add a real piece of Earth’s ancient oceans to your collection today.
