Sure they are harmed by it. Maybe not the individual that left the tooth in the board, but the species is hurt. There are a lot of people out there who will pay a pretty penny for modern GW teeth, and supplying that demand, imo, is not appropriate with a threatened/enandgered species.
I totally agree, though, the fossil teeth are much more interesting!
Thanks,

>>Given that sharks are constantly losing and replacing their teeth, I don't know that I'd think of them as being harmed by it. That said, I think the fossil ones look cooler anyway, and I'm not sure how I feel about *intentionally* yanking teeth out of any animal for profit.
