Unlike shark skeletons, which are made mostly of cartilage and rarely fossilize, the teeth are dense and preserve really well in sediment over time. Fun fact: sharks are older than trees. The earliest sharks appeared over 400 million years ago, while the first true trees showed up around 350 million years ago. That means sharks were already swimming in the oceans for roughly 50 million years before forests existed on land. I guess the point we're getting at here is that these are some really old teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton Gate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47739824636128,"sku":"431789","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/2797\/2442\/files\/Paxton_Gate_Vial_shark3.jpg?v=1770335367","url":"https:\/\/paxtongate.com\/products\/collected-treasures-fossil-shark-teeth","provider":"Paxton Gate","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
