Scientific & Geological Facts

Specimen Type: Fossilised shark tooth

Matrix: Sedimentary rock (commonly limestone, sandstone, or shale)

Age: Typically millions of years old (varies by species and locality)

Formation: Shark teeth fossilise readily due to their high enamel content and are often preserved in marine sedimentary deposits

Sharks have existed for over 400 million years, predating dinosaurs, making their fossilised teeth important indicators of prehistoric marine ecosystems.

Historical & Cultural Significance

Historically, fossil shark teeth were known as “tongue stones” (glossopetrae) and were believed in medieval Europe to have protective and healing properties. Indigenous coastal cultures around the world used shark teeth as tools, ornaments, and talismans representing power and guardianship.

Today, shark tooth fossils are valued by collectors, paleontology enthusiasts, and educators for their durability and exceptional preservation.
