Otodus obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil – Eocene – Genuine Moroccan Predator Tooth – Authentic with COA

Description This listing features a genuine fossilised tooth from the extinct shark species Otodus obliquus, a powerful marine predator that thrived during the Eocene epoch, approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. This impressive specimen was discovered in the renowned fossil beds of Morocco, a region rich in marine fossils from the Paleogene period. Otodus obliquus was an early mackerel shark, considered to be a close relative of the monstrous Megalodon. It could grow up to 30 feet (9 metres) in length and possessed powerful jaws lined with rows of large, triangular teeth, perfect for seizing and slicing through prey such as fish, rays, and marine mammals. Sharks continuously grow and shed teeth throughout their lives. As their teeth wear down or break, they are quickly replaced. It’s estimated that sharks can shed thousands of teeth in a lifetime, making Otodus teeth a frequent and exciting find for fossil hunters. Fossilised Otodus teeth, especially those from Morocco, are highly prized by collectors for their distinct shape—typically triangular with smooth cutting edges and visible root structures.
