Name: Fossil Shark Tooth
Size: 3,2 inch (81 mm)
Shark is one of the most ancient predators. Most nations revered sharks for their strength, invulnerability and fearlessness. In Japanese culture, the shark is considered the messenger of the sea gods. In Polynesia, the image of a shark was used to protect against predators and enemies. The Indians revered the shark for the talent of the ideal hunter and were treated with great respect. In the Middle Ages, the shark amulet was applied as a talisman. According to archaeologists, sharks appeared in the oceans and seas of the planet forty million years ago, that is, this large sea fish survived the dinosaurs. The first shark-like creatures appeared about 450 million years ago, but the oldest evidence of the existence of sharks - the fossils of teeth - are about 400 million years old. These were small teeth that belonged to an individual, apparently no more than 30 cm long.
