Large, 3 Inch Otodus Fossil Shark Tooth

This is a large fossil shark tooth of the species Otodus obliquus from the Oulad Abdoun Basin in Morocco. It's approximately 54 million years old and has been completely removed from surrounding matrix.

These teeth are collected during the massive phosphate mining operations. While teeth of Otodus are common fossils at the mines, ones of this size and quality are quite hard to come by.
