Any fossils, including fossil shark teeth, are preserved in sedimentary rocks after falling from their mouth. [13] The sediment that the teeth were found in is used to help determine the age of the shark tooth due to the fossilization process. [15] Shark teeth are most commonly found between the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. [16]
