Venice Florida Shark Tooth
Shark Tooth Capitol
Venice, Florida is
the Sharktooth Capitol of the World! Venice beaches contain millions
of prehistoric shark teeth. Kids love to gather Shark's Teeth
to take home as a Florida souvenier!
Sharks have lived and died in the Gulf of Mexico for millions of years. After a shark dies, it sinks to the ocean floor where it is very slowly covered by layers of sand.
Over time, the soft squishy parts of the shark's body disintegrate, but the teeth are washed up on shore with the changing tides and waves. Sharks teeth may be black, brown, or gray, depending on the soil in which they have been buried. Most Sharks teeth found in the Venice area are one eighth inch to three inches long
Be sure to check out Venice's Beaches to find some shark teeth of your own!
