Sharks lose hundreds of teeth every day. Several people collect them and show them. This will show you how to find one.
1Know what shark teeth look like. They have a pointy top and a thin body. They look like a triangle without a top. Remember everything you find that is triangular isn't a shark tooth, they could be rocks or stones so be sure that you know the looks of a tooth.Ad
2Find shark popular areas. Sharks live in salt water only (except bull sharks who swim up into freshwater rivers that connect to the ocean.) So don't go looking in your local pond. Sharks are more common in hot, humid places such as Hawaii and Florida. Although they can be found at the poles.
3Be prepared. You won't find a shark tooth in five minutes. Be prepared to stay there for a couple hours. Bring sun-screen and some water to stay there properly without harm.
4Look hard. Don't just glance at an area of sand and say, "No teeth here". Dig in a place where sand is unusually elevated. Teeth won't always be on the surface. Sand constantly covers up old sand with new sand. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty.
5Ask others. People may be able to tell you about shark tooth hot-spots or places where they commonly found teeth. If you want, you can bring them on the trip to ensure you don't miss any teeth. Maybe even start your own shark tooth club!Ad
