Mako Mau Taringa
are shark teeth earrings, which have been worn by Polynesians and Māori since the earliest exploration of Polynesia. They connect to the spirit of the shark, its ferocity and as an abundant food source.
Fossilized shark teeth
are ancient shark remains preserved through permineralization in sedimentary rock. Sharks shed thousands of teeth in a lifetime through a conveyor-belt system, meaning vast numbers enter the marine sediment. Teeth are composed of hard enameloid and dentin that resist decay. Over tens of thousands to millions of years, mineral-rich groundwater seeps into the pores of the tooth and replaces the original organic material. The resulting tooth takes on the colour of the local minerals (such as black, grey, tan, brown, or reddish hues.
