Sharks are big, powerful, and sometimes pretty scary, but their teeth (especially the fossilized teeth), represent so much more.

Some of the teeth that we find on Tybee are tens of millions years old! Each time we find a tooth, I feel like I am hunting dinosaur fossils!

Shark teeth have been used for jewelry for thousands of years. Some Native American cultures view sharks teeth as sacren.

In Hawaii, they represent protection from bad energy (and even protection from other sharks).
