California Shark Tooth fossil specimen

California Shark Tooth Identification

Shark Tooth is a realistic California fossil profile built around triangular or needle-like tooth shed from ancient sharks in marine sediments. In this state, success usually comes from learning marine terraces, Monterey shale exposures, and beach gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
