Fossil Shark Teeth

BRITISH FOSSILS - FOSSIL SHARK TEETH

Available at Cavania West Perth, Geraldton & Online 

A lot of fossils are found in sedimentary rock. This is a rock that has formed from things like sand, mud and small pieces of rock.

Fossils can sometimes look like bone – but they're not! They are a rock that looks exactly the same as the object that was first there. The object gets buried and squashed under sediment. Then, over time, water soaks into the bones which turns them into rock as it leaves behind minerals!

Each Fossil Shark Box contains a selection of genuine fossil Shark Teeth and comes in an acrylic box. Sharks appeared over 300 million years ago. Their skeletons are makde of cartialge, which is soft and rarely fossilised, but their teeth are very durable. These specimens come from the Cretaceous period (approx 100 million years old) rocks in Morocco.
