Otodus Shark Tooth in Matrix

Each piece features an ethically sourced Otodus Shark Tooth, embedded in the Sandstone in which it was found.

Otodus is an extinct species of Mackerel Shark that ruled the Oceans approximately 60 – 40 million years ago. It is thought to be the first species of ‘giant shark’, evolving gradually into its infamous decent, the Megalodon. These apex predators grew up to 9 foot long, dwarfing the largest recorded modern Great White.

These teeth are commonly found in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, however due to crude extraction techniques in the mines, many are destroyed. Each piece features a large, undamaged tooth in sandstone matrix.

Sold individually.
