Shark teeth are the only part of a shark that turns into a fossil. Sharks do not have a bony skeleton, but one made of cartilage. You can find shark teeth either by walking along the beach and looking for them, or by diving to the bottom of the sea. It is easiest to find them on the beach! Look for the triangular shape, then see if it is a very glossy black color. Fossil seashells are also black, and pieces of them come in all shapes, but they do not shine as much as a shark tooth. The tooth will also usually have a rougher patch at one end, which is where it joined the shark's gums.
Fossil shark teeth can be found in abundance along the coast of states like Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Popular fossil hunting spots include Venice Beach in Florida and the Peace River in Florida. Additionally, sites like Calvert Cliffs State Park in Maryland and Aurora, North Carolina are known for yielding large quantities of fossil shark teeth.
Yes, I find shark teeth all the time on the beaches of Galveston!
a marten has 38 teeth. to find out more go to http://www.nationaltrappers.com/marten.html
Sharks have multiple rows of teeth, with some species having up to 3,000 teeth at a time. Their teeth are continuously replaced throughout their lifetime as they lose and grow new ones.
i lov eshark teeth , so i was wondering if i could know where to find shark teeth at pass-a-grill beach. Thanks
Venus Beach on Florida's west coast
They have several rows of them and, unlike humans, there teeth came regrow as many times as is needed in the life of the shark. On a beach near me you can find shark teeth all the time on the sand.
At a beach
Considering sharks tend to stay away from populated areas and the number of people looking for interesting things on the beach, I'd say your chances of finding a shark tooth are next to nothing.

Shark teeth are made up of calcium phosphate, which is the mineral apatite. Although shark teeth are sturdier than the cartilage that makes up their skeleton, the teeth still disintegrate over time unless they are fossilized. This is why you rarely find white shark teeth on a beach. Shark teeth are preserved if the tooth is buried, which prevents decomposition by oxygen and bacteria. Shark teeth buried in sediments absorb surrounding minerals, turning them from a normal whitish tooth color to a deeper color, usually black, gray or tan. The fossilization process takes at least 10,000 years, although some fossil shark's teeth are millions of years old! Fossils are old, but you can't tell the approximate age of a shark tooth simply by its color because the color (black, gray, brown) depends completely on the chemical composition of the sediment that replaced the calcium during the fossilization process.
