Where do you find a norweegan gorilla shark tooth?

Shark teeth are the only part of a shark that turns into a fossil. Sharks do not have a bony skeleton, but one made of cartilage. You can find shark teeth either by walking along the beach and looking for them, or by diving to the bottom of the sea. It is easiest to find them on the beach! Look for the triangular shape, then see if it is a very glossy black color. Fossil seashells are also black, and pieces of them come in all shapes, but they do not shine as much as a shark tooth. The tooth will also usually have a rougher patch at one end, which is where it joined the shark's gums.


What happens when a narwhal loses its tusk?
