Collection: Otodus obliquus Fossil Shark Teeth
Authentic Otodus obliquus fossil shark teeth. These genuine prehistoric shark teeth originate from Paleocene marine deposits and represent one of the earliest members of the Otodus shark lineage.
Otodus obliquus lived approximately 60 million years ago and is considered an early relative of later giant sharks such as Otodus megalodon. Its teeth are easily recognized by their triangular crown and distinctive side cusps.
About Otodus obliquus
An Early Giant Predatory Shark
Otodus obliquus was a large predatory shark that lived during the Paleocene Epoch. It belonged to a lineage of sharks that would later give rise to some of the most famous prehistoric predators of the Cenozoic oceans.
Fossil teeth are the most common remains of prehistoric sharks because cartilage skeletons rarely fossilize. As a result, teeth play a central role in understanding the diversity and evolution of ancient shark species.
Distinctive Tooth Characteristics
Teeth of Otodus obliquus are typically characterized by a broad triangular crown and a pair of small side cusps. These features distinguish them from the teeth of later species in the Otodus lineage.
Fossil Deposits
Otodus obliquus teeth are found in marine sedimentary deposits that preserve a variety of ancient marine organisms. These deposits provide valuable information about early Cenozoic ocean ecosystems.
For Collectors and Education
Otodus obliquus teeth are popular with fossil collectors and educators because they represent an important stage in shark evolution. Each specimen is individually photographed so you receive the exact fossil shown.
