Only on the Beach: Shark’s Tooth

I am only a novice at finding shark’s teeth on the beach. I’ve lived here my whole life, but I just can’t seem to train my eyes to pick up on them. I do get lucky once in a while and today was no exception.  I was taking a morning walk on my favorite beach, Sunset (near Caddy’s), and my shark-dar (shark tooth radar) went off. I found an immaculate shark’s tooth. It was pearly white and wasn’t chipped or anything. Ecstatic about my find, I went online as soon as I got home to try and figure out where it came from. I’m no scientist, but from multiple readings, it looks like I found a fresh Bull Shark’s tooth. I say “fresh” because fossilized teeth get a dark tint to them, resembling a greyish, black color. “New” or “fresh” teeth have a brighter, white pigment; like the one I found. If there are any shark’s tooth experts out there that have a better opinion of what I found, feel free to share! One great thing about a  fresh shark’s teeth is that you can find them only on the beach.
