# Otodus Fossil Tooth - Authentic First Megatooth Shark Specimen - Large 2.6 in to 3 in

This **authentic Otodus fossil shark tooth** in the large size (2.6 in to 3 in) is the most commanding individual Otodus specimen available - a genuine 60-million-year-old tooth from the Paleocene apex predator that is now understood to be the ancestor of Megalodon. At this scale, this is a showpiece specimen: the broad triangular crown, the flanking lateral cusps, and the smooth Paleocene enamel surface are all visible with full display impact.

## **The First Megatooth Shark at Its Most Impressive Scale**

At 2.6 to 3 in, the large Otodus tooth approaches the scale of a medium-sized Megalodon tooth - giving a clear physical sense of the evolutionary relationship between the two species. The lateral cusps that distinguish Otodus from Megalodon are prominent at this size. This is not a common fossil - Otodus obliquus teeth of this size and condition represent the upper end of what the Paleocene fossil record regularly produces. Presented in a glass-topped riker display case with certificate of authenticity.
