An assortment of shark fossils spanning hundreds of millions of years. Nothing too impressive, but some nice ones in there. I've found many of these, and bought the rest from online sellers or a local rock store. There are of course a few non-shark fossils: a couple of cetacean teeth, an eagle ray plate, and a sawfish centrum. I also included "shark-like" denticles from the Ordovician.
