 If you're a fossil enthusiast, then you might be interested in starting your own collection of snaggle tooth shark fossils. Snaggle tooth sharks, also known as Hemipristis serra, were common in the Green River Formation Fossils during the Eocene epoch. These sharks have a unique look, thanks to their pointed teeth that are slightly curved and serrated. Here are some tips to help you start your own snaggle tooth shark collection. Research and Learn About the Green River Formation Before you start collecting, it's important to understand the environment in which the snaggle tooth sharks lived. The Green River Formation is a geological formation that spans across several western U.S. states. It's known for its rich deposits of fish and other fossils. Learn about the geological history of the formation and the types of fossils that are commonly found there. This will help you identify the best places to search for fossils and what to look for when you're out in the field....

Since fossils are the preserved remains of once-living animals from a previous geological epoch, they are incredibly intriguing objects. Some fossils are still accessible to collectors and can be found in specific locations and during special fossil hunts, while others are no longer available but may still be found in a few fossil shops.  You might be curious about the uses of fossils or how to go about using them. Unbelievable as it may seem, fossils make great investments. These items are becoming more and more uncommon, and as a result, their value is rising. Creation of fossils The organism must have a hard skeleton, and an appropriate medium must be found in which mineral material replaces the organic material of the living organism. The body of the organism is buried promptly after death in a medium that protects it from decomposition. The fossils are found in the rocks of various regions and are used to research the evolution of life, which is known through the fossil record...

 Green River Formation is among one of the world's best locations for finding fish fossils. Parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah are known to be the hub for green river formation fossils . These fossils are preserved in the intermountain lake basin while the Rocky Mountains are at growth. Scientists reveal that the climate during the Eocene was warm and temperate to subtropical, and this changed to slightly drier at the start of the mid-Eocene. Vast amounts of sediments were transported from those rocky mountains to inter-mountain basins in the Green River area. Stream draining those steep mountains carried large amounts of sand, mud, silt, and dissolved minerals into lakes that occupied inter-mountain bases. One Aspect Of Green River Formation Most of the pristine fossils found in the market and online websites selling fossils are collected from Fossil Lake deposits. These are separated into two distinct zones: * Split Fish Layer This layer has an average thickness of 6.5 feet, an...
