AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here is a beautiful Otodus sokolowi tooth, a relatively uncommon species and sought after by collectors, from Boujdour, Morocco, and from the Eocene level. This species is an integral part of the lineage that led to the legendary Otodus Megalodon, the largest shark of all time. You can see in the last photo where Otodus sokolowi lies in this evolutionary chain, between Otodus auriculatus and Otodus angustidens.

The tooth offered is of very good quality; the enamel is of good quality; the two lateral cusps are perfect; the tip is good; the bourrelet is very beautiful; the serrations on the two cutting edges are almost perfect; only two small serrations are missing on one edge, and it is from the period; very good root. This tooth measures 83 mm long by 63 mm wide, which is a good size, a good tooth.
