Otodus Obliquus Tooth in Matrix Real Authentic Dinosaur Fossil Natural History Museum Quality Box Frame Interior Design Home Decor Gift

This Otodus Obliquus Tooth (55 million years old) has been displayed and elegantly mounted in a museum quality deep box frame, by our expert in house team. Otodus obliquus, was one of the earliest mackerel sharks, and a precursor to the Great White and Megalodon shark. Their teeth are noted for their wide triangular crown and large side cusps on the root. The name Otodus comes from Ancient Greek meaning "ear-shaped tooth". Otodus obliquus was likely an apex predator during the Early Eocene and Paleocene epochs, approximately 60 - 45 million years ago, ​ preying upon fish, sea turtles, whales, and manatees. The frame is made from satin-finished acrylic. Each specimen is mounted on a 300 GSM acid-free card stock which includes both the scientific and common name of the insect printed below. The frame can either be self-standing or mounted using the invisible wall hanging bracket.
