Description

Shark tooth fossil: Otodus Obliquus

50 million years old

From the Ypresian era, 50 million years ago.

From the Khouribga phosphate mines in Morocco. This paleo-squale must have been common in this region at the time, given the number of fossil teeth found in Morocco, which was not the case elsewhere on the globe.

Otodus Obliquus, which grew to around 6 to 9 meters in length, is almost certainly the ancestor of Megalodon. 

Different sizes, colors, shapes - all teeth are different

The tips may be broken or blunt

Size approx. between 4 and 6cm
