You’d be surprised but many people think that shark teeth are white when in fact most will actually be dark brown or black, it can be confusing from time to time as Shark teeth will be mixed in with oyster shells and other similar shaped shells.

Look for a shimmer or shine, most teeth still have their luster after millions of years, use the enamel to your advantage as most shells pale Next to a shiny shark tooth!
