Otodus

Fossil Otodus shark teeth from Morocco are renowned for their abundance and exceptional preservation. These teeth belong to the extinct genus Otodus, a prehistoric relative of modern mackerel sharks, including the iconic Megalodon. Found in the phosphate deposits of the Moroccan Sahara, these teeth date back to the Paleogene and Neogene periods, spanning millions of years. They exhibit characteristic serrations and triangular shapes, indicative of their role as apex predators in ancient marine ecosystems. Fossil Otodus teeth provide valuable insights into the evolutionary history and paleobiology of these sharks, shedding light on their ecology and interactions within prehistoric oceans.
