Fossilized Shark Cartilage Commonality - Uncommon
I've put this on it's own page because
of the number of emails I have received from people who have found
fossilized shark cartilage, but have had a difficult time trying to id
it. Fossilized shark cartilage has a distinctive pattern on one side,
consisting of densely packed prismatic structures. It is very fragile
and is normally found only as small fragments. I've noticed that more of
it seems to show up laying right on top of the gravel banks than any
other place.
