The teeth and block "represents" how Otodus Teeth may actually be found....In my opinion this/these large Otodus blocks are cleverly crafted from a cement mortar mixture of matrix the teeth originally come from.....teeth are then placed into the hardening mortar block,,,,and there ya have it...one big block with some gorgeous Otodus teeth!..... Stunning quality Otodus plate. Real nice quality Otodus are becoming harder and harder to come by! You'll find many examples here of single Otodus Teeth in matrix going for $200 on up! If someone can actually prove to me that these are REAL blocks taken while digging in Morocco...please enlighten me! THE "WHITE" AREAS YOU SEE ON THE TEETH ARE FROM THE LIGHTS Otodus obliquus is an extinct mackerel shark which lived during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, approximately 60 to 45 million years ago. The fossils of Otodus indicate that it was a very large macro-predatory shark. The largest known teeth measure about 4"in. in height.The vertebral centrum of this shark are over 5 inches wide. Scientists suggest that this shark commonly approached 30 feet in total length. Scientists determined that Otodus evolved into the genus Carcharocles, given substantial fossil evidence in the form of transitional teeth...in other words...it's the great grandfather to Megalodon.
