Is this the largest Otodus tooth available?

Yes. The large (2.6 to 3 in) is the biggest individual Otodus tooth size available. At this scale it approaches the size of a medium Megalodon tooth, giving a physical sense of the evolutionary relationship between the two species.

Is this a real fossil?

Yes. This is an authentic fossilized Otodus obliquus tooth approximately 60 million years old. Not a cast.

Does the Otodus tooth pair well with the Megalodon specimen?

Yes - an Otodus and a Megalodon tooth displayed together tell the story of 40 million years of shark evolution from ancestor to descendant. The lateral cusps of Otodus versus the clean blade of Megalodon make the evolutionary difference immediately visible.

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.
