Unknown Fossil Tooth

[NashDash]

Hello all! First of all, Thank You for your time and expertise in advance. Second, I have purchased this fossil tooth and have no idea what it is from. I'm thinking a shark of course, but what kind has me stumped.

Ideas?

Shark tooth. Otodus, from Morocco.

[Auspex]

Otodus obliquus, a widely distributed Mackerel Shark, lived from about 65-45 million years before present.

you see them on almost any fossil show.

Nice to see it in the orginal matrix.

These teeth are super abundant from Morocco. As such, nice specimens around the size of your specimen can be easily found for around $25 on places like eBay or other online fossil sites that sell shark teeth. Since yours is still in what appears to be the original matrix, sometimes that makes it a bit more valuable (to some folks), and therefore, the price might be a little higher. Every time I go on vacation in places near the ocean (Nags Head, Ocean City, Myrtle Beach, etc), I always see these Moroccan sharks teeth for sale in the typical shell/gift shops.
