I love the “firezone layer” colors. Is it a lot of iron oxide in a bed or something?

 

It's hard to say.  Because that orange-red color is rather rare in the fossil shark tooth world, I think it's more a lucky combination of minerals and the way groundwater washed over them in that area.  It is also lucky that the teeth weren't discolored/bleached by groundwater at some point after they took on that coloring.
