  Otodus obliquus, previously known as Lamna obliqua, is quite popular among research scientists and shark experts. It is fair to say that this ancestral species is a celebrity equivalent of Pierce Brosnan. Although this extinct species of mackerel shark is nowhere near the biggest shark (C. Megalodon), the Otodus is still bigger than any modern carnivorous shark. Once a heavy contender among the predator sharks, most shark biologists and scientists look for  otodus teeth for sale . The teeth of the otodus species are highly known for a wide triangular crown and large side cusps that often tend to be on multiple sides. Another interesting fact about their teeth is that the large sets of teeth aren’t easy to locate. These teeth are most prevalent in the phosphate pits of the Atlas mountains in Morocco. One of the reasons why researchers and shark biologists wish to study their teeth is because of their evolutionary link to megatoothed sharks. There are studies indicating that m...

  Pachycephalosaurus and Gorgosaurus occupy the extreme ends of the food chain with the former being a herbivore and the latter being carnivorous in nature. It would be nice to think of a situation where these two magnificent creatures come for a face-off. It would probably be among one of the historic fights- a fight between a Gorgosaurus and a Pachycephalosaurus. However, the answer might be quite obvious among paleontologist and other dinosaur enthusiasts, let us get on to some quick facts about each of them. Pachycephalosaurus ●        Famous for its large head, this dinosaur had a rather smaller brain as compared to its fellow dinosaur species indicating low intelligence. ●        A medium-sized dinosaur with a bulky body roughly 18 feet long with a little over 10 feet tall tail with a weight of around 4000 pounds. ●        Narrow face with small muzzle leading to a pointed beak. ...
