You have more than 2,000 shark's teeth... I'm pretty sure of it because I know that I have more than 2,000 shark's teeth
My last estimate was in the 9-10,000 range between the two tall vases and the almost full Sangria pitcher...
If you're talking about Megs alone, that I could believe
(mine are out on the counter right now. I'm trying to figure out a display for my megs...)

Hey Fossilbabe, I looked at a few of your pictures and I have two questions. 1) Will a black tooth change colors the longer I keep it in vinegar or am I stuck with the color it came out as? I ask this because I found one small black tooth on my disasterious trip last week and would like to get one of the tan ones.
2) Is it possible you mixed up the labe of the Sand Tiger and the Hemi teeth on the pictures? I'm still learning the differences so I'm not entirly sure.
George.

The color is due to the minerals that exchanged with the calcium in the tooth to fossilize it, therefore, you can keep it in vinegar until the sea cows come home and it won't change color.
Etched by the acid can happen. It will discolor the tooth. The sun will do the same as well. I dont think its a good idea to do either.

It should! Like snow flakes... Oh, who am I kidding
Each big tooth is quite different. On some of mine I like the serrations of the megs. Others are quite colorful (no, I'm not a freak... I've just had the megs out on the counter for a few days while I decide how to display them)
I'm having a hard time deciding on a vase, get some sand from VB and make a "sand box", an aquarium and make it a terrarium or a picture box and make it a dimensional art piece... OK, yes... I am hetero sexual....
