Otodus obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil – Genuine Eocene Tooth from Morocco – Fossilised Predator Tooth with Certificate – Ancient Marine Fossil

Description This listing features a genuine fossilised shark tooth from the extinct species Otodus obliquus, recovered from the phosphate deposits of Oued Zem, Khouribga, Morocco. This specimen dates back to the Eocene Epoch, approximately 56 to 33.9 million years ago. Otodus obliquus was a formidable predator of its time, known for its large, triangular, and sharply serrated teeth. These sharks were early ancestors of the modern mackerel sharks and were among the top apex predators of the ancient oceans. With a body length estimated between 9–12 metres, Otodus would have hunted large fish and marine mammals with precision. Like modern sharks, Otodus obliquus constantly replaced its teeth throughout its life. A single shark could shed hundreds to thousands of teeth, which makes these fossils relatively abundant in certain marine deposits but no less fascinating. Their large, well-preserved teeth are highly prized by fossil collectors and educational institutions.
