Still embedded in the rock matrix in which it was found

This tooth is from the phosphate mines of Morocco. It is of the species Otodus obliquus. Otodus is an extinct genus of mackerel shark which lived from the Palaeocene to the Miocene epoch.
It is beautifully preserved and complete. Provided with a free plastic stand.
