Sharks are one of the oldest creatures still living on this earth. They are members of the group called Elasmobranchs which is a branch that consists of the Sharks, Skates and Rays. Shark teeth are almost the only fossil that sharks they leave behind, since they have skeletons of cartilage rather than bone. Since Sharks grow new teeth through out there lives, They leave a lot of teeth and these sharks teeth can be more than 400 million years old. Fossil shark teeth are not petrified. They're unchanged from the time the sharks dropped them. An object doesn't need to be petrified to be considered a fossil, merely preserved. The age range of the shark teeth is usually based upon the formation that the teeth are discovered in.
Nearly 3000 shark species have been described over time with about 465 species still in existence today. Compare that to the dinosaurs. Sharks were around 200 million years BEFORE the dinosaurs and there are only about 650 - 800 dinosaur species identified with none still alive today.
We have a wide variety of modern shark teeth from some of the rarest sharks teeth from around the world. Everything we sell on this page are the by-products of the fishing/food industry. No sharks were killed solely for their teeth or jaws. This is the leftovers from someone's meal.
