This large fossilized shark tooth belonged to the Otodus obliquus, a species of shark that lived approximately 40 to 60 million years ago, during the Eocene epoch. They often come from marine sedimentary deposits in Morocco and are highly prized for their well-preserved details and impressive size. Otodus obliquus teeth are characterized by a triangular shape, smooth edges, and a robust, often well-preserved root, attesting to their adaptability in a rich and diverse oceanic environment. These fossils offer valuable insight into the evolution of sharks and prehistoric marine ecosystems.
Sold individually, the shades and approximate size of 5 cm of these Otodus obliquus fossils vary depending on the individual and the fossilization conditions. Their distinct shapes attest to the authenticity of these fossils.
