Shark EvolutionThough sharks often only leave teeth behind this has been
enough to have a fairly detailed fossil record
There are between 2,000 and 3,000 species of fossil sharks

Shark Teeth Shark teeth are mineralogicaly stable
Shark teeth provide a number of characteristics with which to identify a species
Erosion and malformities

Earliest sharks The oldest fossils are scales 455 million years ago
The oldest true shark scales come from 420 million years ago
Devonian era was when shark became truly abundant

Neoselachians100 million years ago
Expansion of ray fined fishes
Expansion of higher teleost
Predominantly near shore predators
Expanded to a variety of different habitats

Lots of similar teeth
