Why are there shark teeth fossils in the mountain of NC?
Shark teeth fossils found in the mountains of North Carolina are a result of the area being underwater millions of years ago. During that time, the movement of tectonic plates caused the seabed with shark teeth to be pushed up to form the mountains. The shark teeth fossils are evidence of the region's geological history and ancient marine ecosystems.
WHERE IS THE BEDROCK?
Assuming you are not referring to the 'Flintstones - town of Bedrock' and are referring to geological bedrock then any rock that is not part of the soil or an erosional clast (of any size) is bedrock. Bedrock is therefore found everywhere.
What is the layer of solid rock found under the soil?

How do sharkteeth turn into fossils?
I've included three links, as I found your question very interesting. To be a fossil or ancient remnant, it helps to be in abundance. Sharks lose their teeth and grow new ones. It is important that the remains are not subject to decomposition. The sharks teeth are very hard and covered with enamel. The shark's body is made of cartilage and easily decomposes, so in time all that remains is his scales and teeth. Being buried in sediments or underwater, can protect the teeth from air and bacteria that can cause decomposition. Please see links for more information, including the awesome Stechacanthus shark. Also, one link states that shark's teeth come mostly from the Miocene period. It is probably true that most of the teeth found come from this period. However, sharks were around during the Paleozoic era, Devonian period, and survived the Permian-Triassic time period of massive extinctions. Really quite fascinating

How long are sharks teeth?
The length of a shark's teeth depends on the type of shark. The largest living shark, a whale shark, has teeth that are relatively small, even tiny. The smallest living shark, the dogfish, also has tiny teeth, while the great white shark has teeth the size of about 36 mm, or 1.43 in. But the largest shark to have ever lived, the megalodon, could grow teeth longer than seven inches long.
