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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe First Megatooth Shark at Its Most Impressive Scale\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Authentic Otodus Shark Tooth Fossil - Large for Serious Collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a cast.
