Name: Otodus obliquus
Specimen: Shark Tooth
Age:Â Phosphate deposit, Eocene
Location Found:Â Oued Zem, Khouribga, Morocco
These Shark Teeth are from the Otodus species of shark that patrolled the seas of Morocco around the Eocene period 56 to 33.9 million years ago. When a sharks’ teeth become worn the predator will ‘shed’ these teeth, and these will be replaced with new sharper, stronger teeth. However, unlike humans, Sharks are known for re-shedding hundreds of teeth on a regular basis, which makes them a fruitful find with fossil hunters.
