Andrew Birchall was surfing when a shark bit him. Although the bite was minor (3 rows of teeth marks) the case is still remarkable because when his lower leg was X-rayed a tooth was found.

Shark teeth brake off every 2 to 4 weeks (depending on metabolism, water temperature...) but they hardly get stuck in a wound...
