Authentic fossilized XXL Otodus shark tooth, 6.3 cm long, 50 million years old, Eocene, Morocco

Authentic fossilized Otodus Shark tooth specimen from Morocco, approximately 50 million years old. Comes with a plastic display stand and is accompanied by a Certificate of authenticity signed by a professional geologist who examined the specimen. A great gift for someone passionate about sharks or paleontology!

Sharks have a vast number of teeth arranged in multiple rows, which are replaced frequently throughout their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of enamel and the extensive period they have existed, makes fossilized shark teeth commonly found across various parts of the globe.

Due to the age of the specimen, the fragmentary nature of the fossil deposits in Morocco, and local extraction methods, the tooth may exhibit imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) that are completely normal and unavoidable, but it is overall in good condition, with the enamel layer nearly intact. We invite you to carefully review the product photos to identify any natural imperfections or potential repairs on the specimen.
