They were considered talismans against poison or toxins, and were used in the treatment of snake bites. Noblemen and royalty are known to have worn them as pendants or kept them as charms. They were also incorporated into utensils. For the material derived from the animal that may or may not be fossilized, use "shark teeth." tongue stones (traducció pendent) tongue stones (traducció pendent) 2026-03-30 20:26:27
