Otodus obliquus & Other Shark Vertebrae

This catalog contains exceptional vertebrae from one of the earliest Mackerel sharks, Otodus obliquus. Finding fossilized shark vertebrae is very unique (rare) since the vertebrae were cartilage and were not ideal to fossilize. However, a few shark vertebrae did survive the fossilization process, and we are bringing this rare treat to you!  All vertebrae are early Eocene - (approx. 50 million years ago). These large Otodus (a very large Lamnid shark)  vertebrae are quite spectacular and rare, making them a must have for every fossil shark teeth collection. You do not see these vertebrae very often!

Note - all  sizes are diameter unless otherwise noted. Click on photos to enlarge. Catalog updated May 14, 2006.
