At the museum

In Wild World

"It is believed that sharks existed long before even dinosaurs appeared... However, a shark's skeleton is made from cartilage and is softer than bone. As a result, very few have survived as fossils, eh wot? Fortunately, we CAN research them when we find a shark tooth. Ah! Oh, so very sorry! I... I cannot help it, really. And that's the tooth! Hoo!"

In City Folk

"Capital! Unheard of! What a first-rate fossil! Sharks were actually around a long time before dinosaurs appeared on the scene, eh wot? They developed into the perfect predator, and since then they haven't changed a smidgen!"

In New Leaf

"The fossilized shark tooth has a distinctive serrated edge, like a steak knife. Sharks have existed since before the dinosaurs, but their appearance seems to have hardly changed at all. Their age actually puts them at a time even before plants had fully propagated over every continent."
