English: Shark Tooth by a Horn Coral
Description
English:

A small, serrated shark tooth embedded in a rock wall next to a large bumpy fossil.

Fossils found in the cave's limestone layers reflect the environment when the rock was formed and include typical Mississippian Period sea creatures like corals, crinoids, brachiopods, gastropods, and sharks. In this photo we see a small shark tooth next to a horn coral.
