They loose teeth just like we do, only there is more of them to loose. Just one shark can loose 30,000 teeth in it’s lifetime. That’s a LOT of teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Why are there sharks teeth in the creek when there are no sharks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Florida was once covered by sea water. The sharks that lived there long ago left their teeth. The teeth fossilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Why can’t we find other parts of the shark?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sharks are made up of cartilage, not bone. Like your nose. Cartilage breaks down faster than bone and doesn’t fossilize as easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Why aren’t the teeth we find white like the pictures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The color of the teeth depends on the minerals in the area where it was lost. The fossilized teeth colors usually range from grey to black.<\/p>\n\n\n Far away from Florida?\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Put some sand in a large tupperware container and add a bag of mixed shark fossils <\/a>and create your own backyard sharks tooth hunt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also enjoy these activities with your child… <\/strong>Save<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nSHARK WEEK Learning Activities for Kids:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
