  I would have called this  Otodus obliquus, but this morning I was reading, and got confused, about these teeth from Morocco.  Now Im not sure what this is called.  Even with the tip missing, this tooth measures just over 3.5 inches.

Hi RJB,

 

That's an Otodus obliquus for sure.

No doubt about it. Beautiful tooth.
