How to Grade and Value Fossil Shark Teeth

A fossil shark tooth's value rarely comes down to size alone. This curator's guide covers the factors that actually drive grade and value: slant height measured correctly, completeness, enamel quality and color, serrations, tip and root condition, percent restoration, pathology, and locality. It explains a practical gift / collector / investment framing, why bigger isn't automatically better, why a disclosed repair is fine but a hidden one isn't, and how to read a listing and a COA.
