Shark tooth

A shark tooth is one of the commonly collected vertebrate fossils. They appear on prairies, deserts, beaches, mountaintops, and riverbeds. Shark teeth have been known to fossilize in various sediments, including limestone, sandstone, shale, and marl.

Shark teeth are most commonly found in the phosphate deposits of Morocco and the United States (South Carolina and Florida). Most of these teeth are from the extinct species Carcharocles megalodon, which lived approximately 2.6 million years ago during the Early Miocene to the end of the Pliocene.

Exposed as a symbol of male strength, virility, and power, the shark tooth represents the perfect fusion of land and sea. In some cultures, it is also a potent symbol of good luck.

The ancient Hawaiians extracted shark teeth and strung them on necklaces. They also used them as weapons, tools, and ornaments. In many cases, the teeth were thought to have Mana or spiritual power.
