AI-Powered Shark Tooth Scanner
Instantly identify shark teeth using advanced AI photo recognition technology. Simply upload a photo and get accurate species identification with detailed information about your find.
Advanced AI Photo Recognition
Our shark tooth scanner uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence to analyze photographs and identify shark teeth with 95% accuracy. The technology has been trained on thousands of specimens from museums and private collections worldwide.
Computer Vision Analysis
The AI analyzes multiple visual characteristics simultaneously including shape, serration patterns, size ratios, and surface textures to determine species identification.
Machine Learning Database
Our neural network has been trained on over 50,000 verified shark tooth images, including both modern specimens and fossilized teeth from around the world.
Real-time Processing
Get instant results within seconds of uploading your photo. The scanner works with any smartphone camera and processes images locally on your device.
How to Use the Shark Tooth Scanner
Getting accurate results from our shark tooth scanner is simple with these professional photography tips used by marine biologists and paleontologists.
Step 1: Prepare Your Specimen
Clean the tooth gently with fresh water to remove sand and debris. Pat dry with a soft cloth to eliminate water spots that could interfere with scanning.
Step 2: Optimal Photography Setup
Place the tooth on a contrasting background (white paper for dark fossils, dark surface for light teeth). Use natural daylight or bright LED lighting to avoid shadows.
Step 3: Capture Multiple Angles
Photograph the labial (outer) side, lingual (inner) side, and root area. Include a reference object like a coin for size comparison.
Step 4: Upload and Analyze
Upload your clearest photo to the scanner. The AI will analyze the image and provide species identification with confidence ratings and supporting details.
Scanner Features and Capabilities
Our shark tooth scanner includes professional-grade features designed for both casual beachcombers and serious collectors.
Fossil vs. Modern Detection
The scanner automatically distinguishes between fossilized and modern shark teeth, providing appropriate identification databases for each type.
Size Estimation
Using reference objects in your photos, the scanner estimates tooth dimensions and compares them to known size ranges for verification.
Confidence Scoring
Each identification includes a confidence percentage, allowing you to understand the reliability of the identification based on image quality and specimen condition.
Detailed Species Information
Get comprehensive information about identified species including habitat, diet, size, and geological time periods for fossils.

Common questions about this feature
How accurate is the shark tooth scanner?
Our AI-powered shark tooth scanner achieves 95% accuracy when provided with clear, well-lit photographs. Accuracy depends on image quality, specimen condition, and whether the tooth is complete.
Can the scanner identify fossilized shark teeth?
Yes, the scanner works with both modern and fossilized shark teeth. It automatically detects the type and uses the appropriate identification database for accurate species matching.
What photo quality is needed for best results?
Use good lighting (natural daylight preferred), a contrasting background, and ensure the tooth fills most of the frame. Sharp, in-focus images with minimal shadows produce the best scanning results.
Does the scanner work offline?
Yes, once downloaded, the shark tooth scanner works completely offline. All AI processing happens locally on your device, perfect for beach trips where internet connectivity may be limited.
Can the scanner identify damaged or incomplete teeth?
The scanner can often identify partially damaged teeth, though accuracy decreases with the extent of damage. It works best with teeth that retain their basic shape and key identifying features.
