06147 - Super Rare Pathologically Deformed 1.53 Inch Palaeocarcharodon orientalis (Pygmy white Shark) Tooth KemKem_Beds_Fish_Assemblage but this interpretation did notThis is a extreme rarity coming from the Paleocene phosphate quarries of the sedimentarian basin of Ouled Abdoun (Morocco). It is a tooth from an enormous shark species Palaeocarcharodon orientalis (Pygmy White Shark). Finding paleontological examples of pathologies preserved in the fossil record is extremely rare. This factor makes this tooth much more valuable for collectors. The pathological deformations in this species and in this place are very
