Moroccan Shark Teeth for Sale
Did you know that Morocco is one of the richest hot spots for shark teeth and other fossils? Millions of years ago, the ocean encompassed a portion of Morocco, which is now the Sahara desert. When a prehistoric shark, fish or other aquatic animal died here, their teeth and bones would slowly fossilize over the course of thousands of years. Today, geologists and fossil hunters are still uncovering thousands of intact specimens dating back millions of years ago. If you’re interested in Moroccan shark teeth for sale, you can find the best deals on individual and bulk pieces directly below.

Morocco Information
Morocco is a country (172,487 sq mi) located on the northwestern corner of Africa, bordering both the Atlantic Sea and the Mediterranean Ocean with a population of roughly 32 million residents. As stated above, part of the Sahara desert is also located along the eastern side of Morocco where residents use camels to traverse the arid, sandy and unforgiving landscape.
Morocco is considered to be a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. Although they frequently make important decisions regarding the country, the King has the power to overrule their decisions or completely dissolve the parliament as he sees fit. The country’s last election was held on November 25, 2011, and is considered to be fair, although the voter turnout was low (25% of the population).
The most notable holiday in Morocco is Ramadan. During this time, Muslims fast during the day as a means to show their spiritual devotion. If you visit Morocco during Ramadan, expect to see a number of restaurants and bars closed during the day. In addition, it’s also polite to avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public during Ramadan. There are no laws against it, but it’s considered impolite to do so.
Morocco Fossils and Shark Teeth
The Sahara desert is the world’s largest and hottest desert, stretching a staggering 3,629,000 sq miles (almost the size of China). Millions of years ago, the desert was actually a part of Earth’s oceans where megalodons, ancient great whites, trilobites and other aquatic animals roamed. After passing, their remains fell to the floor where they began to fossilize. Geologists and workers in the desert have been uncovering prehistoric fossilized shark teeth for many decades now, some of which include prized megalodon and hemipristis specimens.
