Summary description of image contents: a small tooth very similar to a terrestrial shark's tooth. Indicates the presence of bony fish in the Martian ecosphere. These appeared in the Devonian Period on Earth. The lower image shows an excellent match in geometry when the terrestrial shark's tooth is overlaid on the Martian shark's tooth.
