Cadzand is the most famous place in the Netherlands when it comes to fossil shark teeth. It is located in the province of Zeeland, close to the border with Belgium and is best reached via the toll tunnels below the Westerschelde. There are THREE places where most fossil shark teeth are found: 1. The Zwin The nature reserve of Het Zwin is an easily accessible place to look for fossils, especially for small children. You can best walk from the boulevard through one of the paths through the dunes towards the beach. Here you can best make a long walk along the tide line and pay attention to shiny, black dots. For more information about the shark teeth, take a look at visitor center "Het Zwin". 2. The Verdronken Zwarte Polder: Nieuvliet-Bad By far the best place to look for shark teeth is the Verdronken Zwarte Polder. Here you can find the smaller shark teeth, in addition to all kinds of other fossils such as fish teeth, stingrays of stingrays and petrified pieces of wood! Most fossils lie halfway between the dunes and the sea. If you see a large accumulation of shell dust that's a good place to look. 3. Groede This is a good place to dig a pit and sieve the excavated sand. This way you get to layers of sediment where nobody has found fossils yet! Near the tide line you don't have to scoop deep to find a nice layer of shells, phosphorite and other shark teeth. Further towards the dunes you have to dig deeper to reach the same layers. Sieve With a strainer you can easily filter the shells and shark teeth from the sand, all you have to do is look carefully between the remaining remains to see if you see shiny black triangles, those are the fossil shark teeth. You can buy sieves in the shops along the boulevard. Do you want to see how you can make a sieve yourself? Watch this video / watch this page: Shovel & Rake Do you really want to look for shark teeth that no one else could ever find, for the big whoppers that have been hiding in the sand for years? Then you can take a shovel or rake to dig holes in the sand. This way you get to deeper layers in the sediment where there are even larger fossils. Sharks are perhaps the most notorious predators on earth, especially feared by films such as "Jaws" and "The Meg". Sharks have been swimming in the oceans for more than 450-420 million years, so that is long before the Dinosaurs roamed the earth! And despite their frightening appearance with chilly eyes and mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, sharks are actually not dangerous at all. They even have a very important role in the ecosystems in the ocean, namely clearing weak and sick fish! That sharks have a large mouth full of teeth, that's right (at least for most species - the largest shark on earth, the whale shark, has no teeth at all!). The great white shark has 300 teeth in several rows behind each other. He uses these teeth to grab his prey and tear it to pieces, so no fun. But such a wrestling party with, for example, a seal (one of his favorite bites) is sometimes very fierce, so that sometimes a tooth breaks off or falls out of the jaw. A shark can lose 100 teeth a day! Time for dentures? No ... the shark has a trick for that! Over the entire life of a shark it can therefore lose 15,000 to 30,000 teeth! Sharks have been around for millions of years, so they are a lot of teeth! As a result, you can still find shark teeth today! The shark teeth that you can find in Cadzand are fossils. Fossils are the petrified remains of, for example, plants, animals and therefore shark teeth! Fossils are so well preserved because they are covered with many layers of soil. ➤ Subscribe for more: http://bit.ly/biovlogwild-subscribe ✔ #fossil #shark #megalodon #teeth #paleontology #animals #fossils #sharks # animals
