An impressive tooth from a prehistoric predator
Otodus obliquus fossil teeth are among the most sought-after and iconic fossils in the world. They are characterized by a triangular, broad crown with smooth cutting edges and distinct lateral cusps at the base.

It will make a spectacular decoration for a desk or study, or a centerpiece in a home display case.

Sharks lose thousands of teeth over the course of their lives, but only a few end up in conditions ideal for fossilization. Owning such a well-preserved specimen from 50 million years ago is not only a treat for a seasoned geologist but also an incredible educational inspiration for young explorers. Fossils of this type symbolize strength, the instinct for survival, and the power of nature. It is an absolutely unique, exclusive gift for special occasions, one that gains in collector’s value year after year.
Purchase Information
The photos in the gallery show sample specimens from the same, carefully selected batch.
