Original post: My daughter is convinced she found a shark tooth, picked up at the beach in Castelldefels, Spain

Author: geckospots Body: Geologist here, it’s definitely a quartz vein. You can see the host rock at the tip of the ‘tooth’. It looks like it’s hosted in jasper. Like your daughter, when I was a kid I had a rock that I was convinced was a dinosaur tooth - it was an elongated triangular rock with a notch out of one side that looked like a ‘cavity’. There’s no harm in letting her think it’s a shark tooth. :) And if it gets her learning about fossils or anything like that, even better!

Author: Genmjrpain Body: Heck yeah! Help your daughter to discover that maybe it’s not a sharks tooth on her own. If she likes this stuff don’t just say, “yeah some smart people on the internet said it’s a rock, sorry.” Help lead her to the discovery herself so that she can see how cool science is. The process of discovering what something actually is makes science so much fun and might just spark further interest for her. Plus it’s a great learning and bonding experience for both of you! Happy hunting! Edit: My first gold! Thank you, kind stranger! I’m happy it’s on a post promoting the awesomeness of discovery in science! Edit 2: Thank you for the additional gold! I’ve noticed a few people don’t like my last edit. First, someone took my Reddit Gold virginity so I’m gonna say whatever overly excited things pop into my head. Second, I won’t apologize for getting excited about getting kids interested in science, but I do admit it’s a little over the top.

Author: pigbatthecat Body: Agree that this is a great idea. As a young, aspiring paleontologist, I got into collecting all kinds of rocks. My parents got me a mineral identification kit like this one that walked you through a series of binary tests to identify different minerals. After all, if you want to find sharks' teeth, you need to know the kind of rocks they're usually found in...

Author: Smalltown15 Body: I now know what to get my neice and nephews for Christmas this year. It's all going to be science themed!

Author: megggie Body: This is an awesome idea! Heads up from a mom, though-- check with their parents before you get them anything messy or huge, and pay attention to the recommended ages even if the kids are mature or smart for their age. A lot of it has to do with attention span, not intelligence or maturity! (All I wanted for Christmas when I was 6 was a rock tumbler. I got it (yay!) but then found out I wouldn't have any cool rocks for three months or more. My cousins, meanwhile, were having a blast, that very morning, with their Cabbage Patch preemies.)

Author: oldenbka Body: Great advice. My little guy found some "dinosaur bones" in our landscaping rocks the other day. :) I didnt have the heart to tell him they were plain old rocks, so just said "oh wow, thats pretty neat". To his defense, he DID find some coral fossils in the same rock :)

Author: snappped Body: I think that's the perfect response! Hopefully he'll keep looking! My imagination would run wild when I found unique rocks. Rocks are cool!

Author: oldenbka Body: It's one of his (and his sisiter's) favorite things to do. I currently have a few piles of "moon rocks" "ancient lava" "dinosaur bones" and other treasures in small little piles on my front stoop. I was the same sort of child and LOVED digging for fossils, looking for arrowheads etc. on my Grandpa's farm, so It is fun for me to see the same excitement in them when they find something cool. What is even more fun is that a lot of the rock is limestone, so there are legitimate fossils to be found. My son was amazed to find out that he was finding coral and shell fossils because our area was once at the bottom of a sea... mind. blown.

Author: buminthesun Body: ive been living here 46 years and my mind is still blown by this when i find sea shells in my yard LOL

Author: becausefrog Body: I dug up dinosaur bones in the 3rd grade, in a mound in the far pasture on our dairy farm. I thought it was the greatest thing ever! I was so proud and excited, and I couldn't wait to show everyone. I took them to school to show my teacher, who was really into bones. He said they were just cow bones, and I was so disappointed and disillusioned. And then I came down with Valley Fever and missed several weeks of school, and when I got better I discovered that my mother had gotten rid of the bones. I was so mad at her about that. I didn't realise the two were connected until I was grown up. Valley Fever sucks, by the way.

Author: Pavotine Body: They probably should have called the illness caused by bones "Bone Fever" or something similar and then you might have been more wary about handling them. (not a joke comment I promise)

Author: becausefrog Body: It wasn't the bones, it was the soil they were buried in.
