Arthur here. Today’s headline: sharks were cruising Earth’s oceans before the first true trees rose on land — and the real ocean lesson is the sea holds the deepest chapters of life’s story.

This is one of those facts that punches through the noise of the internet because it’s so clean and so impossible to unsee. Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years, long before forests fully took shape on land.

That means when you hold a fossil shark tooth, you’re not just holding “a cool relic.” You’re holding evidence of a lineage that endured mass extinctions, shifting continents, and oceans that changed their chemistry and shape.

This is why shark stories belong at the end of our run. They connect fossil wonder to living wonder — the perfect Fossil Art Creations bridge between deep time and modern beauty.

Arthur’s pocket fact: Sharks’ fossil record stretches back more than 400 million years — a living dynasty written in teeth.
