What is Shark Tooth?

Sharks have been living on Earth since 450 million years ago, with their teeth being one of the few parts that can survive fossilization. However, the most frequently discovered shark Tooth fossils are from the more recent Cenozoic Era (66 million years ago until today). Shark Tooth fossils can be found in various locations around the world, particularly in areas where sharks have historically thrived. One popular destination for fossil hunting is Venice Beach, Florida, known as the "Shark Tooth Capital of the World."
