In Native American tribes, shark teeth were seen as protective talismans, providing courage and warding off negative energies. Hawaiian and Polynesian traditions associated sharks with gods and deities, considering them as symbols of strength and guardianship.


Sharks are not only apex predators cruising our oceans. These amazing creatures have been around for more than 400 million years and have lived alongside dinosaurs. They have been featured in endless numbers of books and movies. Ancient legends passed onto this day are centered around sharks. Humans have historically always been fascinated by sharks and especially one thing about them, their teeth.


Has man always been fascinated by shark teeth? Where does man's fascination with shark teeth come from? It's hard to answer, but it seems like it has always been there. Scientists have discovered a collection of fossilized shark teeth uncovered from an ancient city just out of Jerusalem. The teeth were found in a basement dating back to the time of King Salomon approximately 3000 years ago. Scientists found that the teeth originate from a long-extinct Late Cretaceous Shark and that the fossilized teeth were about 80 million years old. Other teeth were found from various species that date back to when dinosaurs were still walking around. It has been determined that the teeth couldn't have been found naturally at the site, suggesting that it could be one of the first found human collections of shark teeth, leading us to the first fact.

Sharks are different from other vertebrates as their skeleton is made from cartilage, not bone, so the only thing that will last from the shark to fossilize is their teeth. Sharks will continuously shred their teeth during their lifetime and grow new ones. Some sharks will shred around 35.000 teeth during their lifetime. It will take approximately 10.000 years for a shark tooth to become fossilized
