Paleocarcharodon orientalis (Sinzow, 1899)These teeth date back to the Palaeocene epoch and are 60 million years old. They were discovered in the famous phosphate mines in Morocco. Paleocarcharodon orientalis belongs to the extinct Otodontidae family and is considered a distant early relative of modern white sharks – even though it is not directly related to them. Particularly striking are its powerful, triangular teeth with clearly serrated cutting edges, which distinguish it from many other fossil shark species. These characteristics indicate a specialised predator that fed on larger, soft or moderately stable prey.Age: Palaeogene, Eocene;Locality: Khouribga (Nickname: Phosphate City), MoroccoSize: approx. 3-4 cmColors on product photos may differ slightly from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.All our pictures are for reference, upon purchase you will receive a specimen of equivalent quality.
