Shark tooth fossil

Shark tooth fossils can range in age from hundreds of thousands to millions of years old.

The brown shiny bit is about 5 cm long.
One of my prized possessions 🙂

How fossils are formed

Dude, check it out – fossils are like rock stars of the past. So, here’s the deal: when a rad critter kicks the bucket, and it gets buried in the dirt, the underground party begins. Minerals from the Earth’s VIP list start sneaking into the remains, swapping out the organic vibes for hardcore mineral beats. It’s like a slow-motion transformation, man. Molecule by molecule, the original stuff gets the boot, and the minerals take center stage.

Before you know it, you’ve got a fossil – a rock-solid relic of the ancient scene. It’s like nature’s remix, where the original material gets replaced by these mineral maestros. And bam, you’ve got a fossil that’s tougher than Ozzy Osbourne. It’s the way the fossil rocks roll, dude! 🤘
