Serrated, 3.01" Fossil Megalodon Tooth From Morocco - Rare Location

About Megalodon Teeth From Morocco

Fossil Megalodon teeth from Morocco are found in Miocene marine sediments exposed in regions like Dakhla and other parts of the country’s fossil-rich terrain, where ancient shallow seas once existed. These Moroccan Meg teeth are not as common as many other shark fossils from the area and are prized when complete because most specimens recover with root erosion, breakage, or repairs, often requiring restoration before they reach collectors. In our experience, roughly 95% of Megalodon teeth on the market from Morocco have been repaired or restored in some way, making truly unrestored examples rare and especially desirable. Compared to southeastern United States localities such as Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina—where Megalodon teeth are more abundant and frequently found in rivers, beaches, and phosphate gravels—Moroccan teeth are rarer overall and much less frequently encountered intact, particularly in larger sizes.

Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) was a giant prehistoric shark, often considered the largest shark (and one of the largest fish) to ever live, roaming the world’s oceans from about 23 million to 3.6 million years ago and growing far larger than today’s great white shark. It preyed on whales and other large marine animals and is known almost entirely from its massive, serrated teeth, which can exceed 6–7 inches in size and serve as key evidence of its biology and evolution.
