In addition to seashells, shark's teeth are another sought after beach treasure. The teeth are the fossilized remains of sharks, which roamed the oceans 10 to 50 million years ago. The teeth tend to be black or gray because the sediment in which they fossilized determines their color. For the most part, discovered teeth can be as large as 5" while others are only about the size of a pin. The largest teeth come from the giant Megalodon Shark, which grew to 65 feet in length and was at least 2 to 3 times larger than the Great White.
