Otodus Obliquus Shark Tooth Fossil in Matrix A

Otodus Obliquus is an extinct genus of the modern mackeral shark shark that lived in the ancient seas of the Paleocene to the Pliocene Epoch, roughly 60 million - 5 million years ago. Like most sharks, Otodus Obiquus is primarily known by its teeth, as much like current-day sharks, the skeletons of ancient sharks were composed primarily of cartilage that rarely survives into the fossil record. Fossils suggest that the Otodus Obliquus was a large, predatory shark, perhaps measuring as large as 26-30 feet long! To put this in perspective, however, their largest cousin, the Otodus Megalodon, is believed to have grown to sizes exceeding 55 feet long!

Otodus Obliquus teeth shows signs of evolving serrations, which is evident on the edges of this fossil specimen.

Otodus Obliquus teeth have been found practically around the world, with this particular tooth having been unearthed from the ancient sea that is now the Sahara Dessert in Morocco.

Photography

Although we always strive to provide clear, accurate images of our crystals and other products, we photograph under professional lighting, which is meant to mimic sunlight. If you get your crystal and think it looks a little different under low or artificial light, try checking it out again in sunlight!

Our crystals are one-of-a-kind art, created by nature.

No two pieces are the same, and there is no such thing as "perfection" in nature.

When it comes to our hand-carved items, remember that artists work with and around imperfections, druzy pockets, and other natural variations to bring each carving out of a piece of natural stone.

We consider these imperfections to be one of the most wonderful parts of crystal collecting, and we invite you to embrace each carving's uniqueness!

We will always try to portray each piece honestly, so be sure to look closely at our images and videos to ensure you know what to expect.
