shark teeth

Beach fossil finds

Shark teeth are the teeth of sharks, which shed and regrow continuously throughout the animal's life.

Fossilized shark teeth are common beachcombing finds and collector's items, since sharks produce thousands of teeth over their lifetimes.

The phrase also describes a jagged or serrated pattern resembling shark dentition: a shark-tooth necklace, shark-tooth zigzag trim.
