Otodus obliquus is an extinct species of mackerel shark (and an ancestor of the Megalodon Shark). It lived from the Paleocene (66 million years ago) to the Miocene (5 million years ago) Epochs. 

Fossilized shark teeth are ancient remnants of some of the most powerful creatures to have ever roamed the earth. These teeth can be found in various sizes and shapes, often millions of years old, dating back to periods like the Cretaceous or Miocene epochs. As sharks' teeth are continually shed throughout their lives, they were abundant in the oceans, leaving behind a fossilized record for us to study. Scientifically, they are composed of hydroxyapatite, a mineral form of calcium phosphate, which gives them their unique durability and preservation. Metaphysically, fossilized shark teeth are believed to carry powerful protective energies and help with strength, resilience, and personal growth. They are also thought to provide a connection to ancient wisdom, grounding, and the ability to overcome obstacles, making them popular in crystal healing and as decorative specimens.
