Fossilized Shark Tooth Specimen: Sand
The fossil shark teeth come from several different types of ancient sharks including tiger, mako, sand, otodus, lamna, and an ancient shark called carcharodon megalodon.
If a shark loses a tooth while biting into something, another tooth from the second row would replace the missing tooth within four minutes. Thus many teeth were lost over the lifetime of a shark. Some fossilized shark teeth are found in phosphate mines, while others are collected by divers. A fossil shark tooth is easy to tell from a modern day shark tooth as a fossil shark tooth is made of stone; the modern tooth is not.
May you enjoy your fossil, as it is a scientific find as well as a link to our distant past. Fossils are to be treasured and preserved for future generations.
