The teeth of sharks are not attached to the jaw, but embedded in the
flesh, and in many species are constantly replaced throughout the shark's
life. All sharks have multiple rows of teeth along the edges of their
upper and lower jaws. New teeth grow continuously in a groove just inside
the mouth and move forward from inside the mouth on a "conveyor belt"
formed by the skin in which they are anchored. In some sharks rows of
teeth are replaced every 8–10 days, while in other species they could last
several months.
Often the only parts of the shark to survive as
fossils are teeth.
Fossil shark teeth have been dated back hundreds of millions of years. The
most ancient types of sharks date back to 450 million years ago, and they
are mostly known from their fossilized teeth. The prices of fossil shark
teeth depend upon the overall quality of the fossil tooth.

The great white shark is a
streamlined swimmer and a ferocious predator with 3,000 teeth at any
one time. This much-feared fish has a torpedo-shaped body, a pointed
snout, a crescent-shaped tail, 5 gill slits, no fin spines, an anal
fin, and 3 main fins: the dorsal fin on its back and 2 pectoral fins
on its sides. When the shark is near the surface, the dorsal fin and
part of the tail are visible above the water.

The hammerhead shark is
easily identified by its thick, broad head, which looks very much
like the profile of mallet. It reaches a maximum length of 11 feet.
The shape of the shark's head wide and flattened serves important
biological functions. First, it provides lift, which improves the
shark's swimming abilities.
