Students at The Exploris School (Middle School) and Moore Square Magnet Middle School have been finding shark teeth from different sediments, including sediment from Aurora NC. They are measuring the teeth and making graphs to then analyze the data. This project helps Dr. Terry "Bucky" Gates at NCSU collect data to find more information about shark populations during the Miocene and Pliocene on the East Coast of United States.
