When we were in Florida last winter we spent some time combing the beach for shark’s teeth. We had a lot of fun and found hundreds in just a few hours time.
It was fun watching them wash in and trying to catch them before they were taken back out.
A few people have wondered which beach we went to, well I happened to snap a photo of the sign so I wouldn’t forget, lol.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. 
MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

how awesome, living at the beach I see them made into jewerly. I have yet to find any on the beaches here though.
Evelyn said,
Wow Lisa, I’ve never seen this before. Great macro.
You know, I cannot help but imagine some sharks going around toothless (can you imagine a caricature?), and some with sparkling shiny sets of dentures (imagine another caricature!)
Have a nice week!
Jan said,
That is truly the darnest thing I ever heard. We don’t get sharks teeth washing up, here. Wonder why they wash up there!

Their loss is your gain. These are super shots. Of course, these guys could be doing with a better dentist!

Hi Lisa,
As a science teacher I can’t tell you how fascinating this is to me. Can you tell us which beach in Florida or is this a well-guarded secret?
I love their beauty and these are great shots!

Well, you learn something every day. I have never seen sharks’ teeth and had no idea you could beach comb for them. Fascinating. I also am curious about which beach.

Interesting small little things! Great shots!
Gattina said,
I first didn’t understand and had to google for Shark’s teeth, lol ! I thought they were kind of little stones you find on the beach, but apparently these are really teeth ! Besides that the pictures are so neat and clear, I know feel like seeing a dentist’s technician making up false teeth for a shark ! I safe myself !
Gattina said,
sorry, I mean “I now” feel …
Sarah said,
Great photos.
Henrietta said,
Wou that is a real treasure at least it would be in Finland:)
Rosie said,
They really look like polished pebbles. Interesting photos in macro mode.

Woah! I didn’t realize these were shark teeth. I thought they were peculiar looking small stones or pebbles.The constant wearing of the elements made the surfaces of the teeth smooth. That’s quite a collection there.
Lui said,
That is so precious, Lisa! They look like rocks. I will post mine when I get home later!
chasity said,
florida sounds like a great place to be right now…
i just woke up to a thick new layer of snow on the ground!
c’mon spring!!!
Sweepy said,
Woof Lisa, I didn’t know sharks have black fangs! Mine are all yellow and dull. ;-(
NatureFootstep said,
Nice shots. It is strange somehow that there are so many shapes on them. And they are smalller then I would think they sere.

Had you shown those things without explanation I wouldn’t have had any idea what they were! Ouch, they remind me that I have a few dental jobs ahead of me…
Jeanne said,
That’s really cool. They look almost fossilized.
Erik "Semlan" said,
Looks almost like jewels.
Fantastic!
Assuming that there are waves that grinds them so attractive.
Now I have participated for the first time!
Yoke said,
Great to use the teeth as subject. something I would have chosen also, had I found them. Our minds must think alike!
Beaches are a no-go area for my wheels though. Unlike many other of your visitors, I did recognise them. Had seen them before-had no camera at the time.
Well done and take care,
Yoke.

Mommyof2Girlz/Steph said,
Wow love the last macro shot because you see can your fingerprint swirls and texture too…awesome!
jo©o said,
They are things of beauty.
Who’d have thought it.
I am surprised that they don’t look sharp.
Were they worn and polished by the sea and the sand?
Karin van D. said,
Shark teeth? Yikes! Great shots though.
Irene said,
Wow, looks more like rocks than teeth! Great shots!
