The name Otodus comes from Ancient Greek ὠτ and ὀδούς – thus, "ear-shaped tooth" A large Otodus obliquus may have had a maximum length somewhere around 33 feet. The teeth were also large and reached a maximum size of around 4 inches. It’s thought Otodus originated from a smaller, but similar shark called Cretalamna. Otodus obliquus eventually evolved into the megalodon shark. This is a beautiful large fossil tooth with minimal wear for its age, a rare find in this size. Roughly 52 million years old from Eocene/Palaeocene period.
