Sokolovi (Auriculatus) Shark Tooth – Serrated Fossil from Dakhla

Megalodon's Mighty Ancestor: Authentic Sokolovi Shark Tooth from Morocco's Ancient Seas

Step back 42 million years and meet one of the ocean's most fearsome predators! This exceptional Otodus sokolovi tooth hails from the legendary fossil beds of Dakhla, Morocco, where the Western Sahara Desert reveals treasures from when this region lay beneath warm, prehistoric oceans.

Known as a direct ancestor to the famous Megalodon, the Sokolovi shark was a transitional species that bridged the evolutionary gap between earlier megatooth sharks and their more famous descendants. These massive predators measured up to 31 feet in length, with jaws lined with serrated teeth that dwarfed those of modern Great Whites - this specimen represents cutting-edge prehistoric hunting technology that remained unmatched for millions of years.

The distinctive triangular shape, prominent cusps, and robust root system visible in this fossil tell the story of a perfectly adapted marine hunter. During the Late Eocene, these sharks ruled the food chain, using their massive teeth to process everything from early whales to large bony fish. As global climate patterns shifted and ocean ecosystems evolved, these magnificent creatures gradually gave way to their more specialized descendants.

Each tooth underwent a remarkable fossilization journey, with minerals slowly replacing organic material over millions of years, creating the durable stone-like specimen that survives today.
