Fossil Fish Vertebrae 2 Otodus also Enchodus etc Morocco #3160

Description

Here is a natural fossil plate from the Eocene, from near Khourigba, Morocco. It contains 2 large vertebrae from an Otodus. It also contains (though deeper buried) some Enchodus vertebrae, especially visible on the back and side. Also, there are many multiple pieces of fossil bone.
The fossils in here are in situ, in other words, they were naturally found in this matrix rock. Nothing was inlaid into the plate.  It was rescued from the crushers at the Phosphate Deposits, near Khourigba.  Phosphate is big business in Morocco. so these pieces are taken from piles otherwise destined to be crushed to make phosphates.
the 2 Otodus vertebrae are about 1.5" and 1.6". The plate is about 4.5" by 3.6", and it weighs 14.95 oz.
Otodus was a monster of a fish in these ancient waters.  It was a huge type of mackerel shark, sometimes reaching 30 feet in length. In fact, the famed Megalodon was directly descended from Otodus.
Enchodus was a fish that grew to about 9 feet, and had 4 large "fangs" in the front of its mouth. This has earned it the (incorrect) name as "Saber-tooth herring".  The vertebrae hare are smaller than those of Otodus.

With this type of specimen, a tiny amount of it may break off in shipping, but not enough to alter the beauty of the piece. I wrap it very carefully in multiple layers of wrap. If that is not acceptable to you, please do not order.
