Sharks Teeth - Otodus & Other
Fossilised Sharks Teeth
In this section of our web site we have a selection of fossilised sharks teeth from species other than the megalodon shark. These are found in a separate section.
The earliest sharks were swimming in our seas hundreds of millions of years ago. The carboniferous period which began over 350 million years ago is known as the golden age of sharks. Sharks have been evolving ever since, and still exist today. During the various periods of mass extinction when large numbers of other species disappeared, sharks managed to adapt and survive.
Because sharks are cartilaginous and don’t have bones invariably the only part that is preserved as a fossil is the tooth. Sharks can shed large numbers of teeth during their lifetime as they had the ability to grow new ones. These lost teeth sank down to the seabed where they become covered by sediment and in due course gradually fossilise.
