Magnificent Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth on Matrix from Oulad Abdoun Basin, Morocco - 55 Million Y...

Behold the Ancient Ocean's Apex Predator - A 55-Million-Year-Old Giant's Legacy!

Journey back 55 million years to the warm, shallow seas of the Paleocene epoch with this spectacular Otodus obliquus shark tooth beautifully preserved on its original matrix rock from Morocco's legendary Oulad Abdoun Basin. This isn't just any fossil - it's a window into an ancient world where massive prehistoric sharks ruled the waves!

This impressive specimen measures 119mm x 88mm and weighs a substantial 328 grams, with the magnificent tooth itself reaching 60mm x 48mm. The Otodus obliquus, meaning "ear-shaped tooth," was a formidable apex predator that could reach lengths of 9-12 meters (approximately 40 feet)  - making it one of the ocean's most fearsome hunters of its time and a cousin to the legendary Megalodon.

But how did this ancient treasure end up in the deserts of Morocco? The phosphate beds were deposited several hundred meters under the waves of the Atlantic Ocean , and the Oulad Abdoun Basin contains some of the world's largest phosphate reserves, stretching across 4,500 square kilometers near Khouribga. When this mighty shark died, its tooth sank to the seafloor where teeth and other remains accumulated over millions of years in phosphate-rich sediments, creating the perfect conditions for fossilization. The basin contains abundant marine vertebrate fossils from the late Cretaceous to Eocene periods, making it a paleontological goldmine.

The fossilization process transformed this once-living weapon into the stunning specimen you see today, with the surrounding matrix rock telling the story of an ancient seabed teeming with life. The rich phosphate deposits acted as a natural preservative, maintaining incredible detail in this 55-million-year-old relic.
