Otodus Obliquus Shark - Colossal Predator Fossil from Ancient Moroccan Seas

Desert Treasure: Magnificent Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil

This spectacular Otodus Obliquus shark tooth fossil measures an impressive 56mm high by 47mm wide, displaying the characteristic triangular crown with its razor-sharp profile and distinctive lateral cusps. The specimen showcases beautiful golden-amber coloration with clearly visible growth ridges and a robust root system that speaks to its ancient power.

Otodus Obliquus was a colossal prehistoric shark that dominated the world's oceans approximately 60-45 million years ago during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. These fearsome apex predators could reach lengths of up to 30 feet, making them one of the largest sharks of their era. Their massive jaws were equipped with serrated cutting teeth like this specimen, perfectly designed for dismembering large marine prey.

This remarkable fossil formed when the shark's tooth was quickly buried in ocean sediments, where mineral-rich waters gradually replaced the original material over millions of years. As geological forces shifted and ancient seas receded, former ocean floors became dry land. The phosphate deposits near Khouribga, Morocco, once part of the prehistoric Tethys Ocean, now reveal these incredible remnants of Earth's ancient marine world.
