Sokolovi (Auriculatus) Shark Tooth – Ancient Predator Relic

Prehistoric Powerhouse: Museum-Quality Sokolovi Shark Tooth from Morocco's Fossil Paradise

Behold the fossilized tooth of Otodus sokolovi, one of prehistory's most impressive marine predators! Excavated from the world-renowned fossil deposits near Dakhla, Morocco, this specimen represents 42 million years of geological history preserved in stunning detail.

This ancient shark was truly massive, growing to lengths of 31 feet with teeth reaching up to 5 inches - nearly double the size of modern Great White shark teeth, which typically measure only 1-2 inches. The Sokolovi's impressive dental arsenal made it the apex predator of Late Eocene seas, perfectly adapted for crushing through the thick bones of primitive whales and other large marine prey.

What makes this find particularly special is its origin in Morocco's Western Sahara, a region that was once a warm, tropical ocean teeming with diverse marine life. The Sokolovi sharks thrived in these ancient waters until changing global climates and evolving ecosystems led to their extinction, paving the way for their famous descendant, Megalodon.

The fossilization process that preserved this tooth is nothing short of miraculous - over millions of years, groundwater rich in minerals gradually replaced the original tooth structure, atom by atom, creating a perfect stone replica that captures every detail of the original.

Secure this extraordinary window into prehistoric ocean life for your collection - a true testament to nature's ancient power and beauty!
