There's a cliff formation there from the Miocene that was a nursery for whales, so there were also lots of sharks (which lose their teeth every 8 days or so). They wash down from the cliffs, go into the ocean, then come back to the shore.

Wow! My son lost a baby tooth yesterday and I can't imagine going through that every eight days! I suppose the shark's teeth must wear down quickly and the new ones will be razor sharp.
What do you do with the fossils and teeth you collect?
