In the U.S., Otodus angustidens teeth seem fairly common (primarily from South Carolina). From scouring the web, it looks like O. angustidens can also be found in at least in a few other countries, including Australia, Germany, Kazakhstan, and Mexico. However, I very rarely see these pop up, whether it's for sale or otherwise. In contrast, I see other members/stages of the chronospecies--obliquus, auriculatus, sokolovi, chubutensis, megalodon--show up not infrequently from multiple locations around the world. Is this because there are fewer accessible Oligocene-aged marine deposits globally, more restrictions on fossil collection and/or export where these deposits do occur outside the U.S., or for other reasons? Do you know of any other countries besides those I've listed where angustidens are found? If you have any non-U.S. angustidens teeth in your collection, please also do share photos! This is the only non-U.S. one I own, from Baja California, Mexico.
