Great finds. What are the small teeth to the left of the meg?

heterodontis (bullhead-horn shark) are the rectangular teeth, cetorhinus ( basking shark ) are the peg shaped teeth. Thanx for looking!

Very nice collection that you've got there. The makos above the Meg look huge, how big are they?

Cool quality, the lower mako is a lovely beast and the meg looks to be pristine, must cut easily.

For the shape that the meg is in. I think it is one of the best i've seen. Almost no separation between the bourelette and the enamel. There are only 4-5 nicked serations. A killer tooth. The lower mako is just oh so shy of three inches. Still HUGE !! Thanks for the comments...
