Fossil finder 100 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Bought this tooth from a shop in Colorado, seller said it was found in the atlas region of Morocco. She said it was a ancestor of the modern Sand shark but was wondering if anyone could give me some more information. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Trilo Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Looks like Otodus obliquus, ancestor to the megalodon, not sand sharks. 1 5 “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor.

Gareth_ Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Otodus obliquus With unfortunately some damage (which is really common) It's a nice size though! O. obliquus is a direct ancestor to O. megalodon Edited July 22, 2022 by Gareth_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
