Fossil Shark Tooth Set

Assorted Genuine Fossil Shark Teeth-each set comes in a clear see through display/storage box, with a foam insert and information card.

There are over 350 species of sharks. New species are discovered every year. The largest complete shark's tooth ever found measures over 7". The largest shark, the Whale Shark, grows up to 46 feet, weighing up to 30,000 pounds. It is estimated that a single shark loses up to 10,000 teeth in its lifetime. Shark skeletons are composed of cartilage instead of bone, that's why the shark's teeth are the only parts found fossilized. Fossil Shark Teeth date from the Eocene to Cretaceous periods (40 to 110 million years ago).
