BellamyBlake Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I have a few shark teeth from Belgium here. Belgian shark teeth are not my area and I'd appreciate some help identifying these. They're from the Antwerp Miocene, around 1/2" each. Thank you, Bellamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 For shark teeth from Antwerp, I can recommend you this determination system : https://www.paleontica.org/id_system/fossil_id_search.php?vindpl_id=13 These are my educated guesses haha: 4, 6, 7 and 9 C. hastalis (although I'm not sure about 7, might be an I. oxyrinchus) 1, 2, 3 and 5 maybe C. acutissimus or vorax or O. reticulata, I'm not a pro at identifying those kinds of teeth 8 C. acanthodon? (not 'thick' enough for S. zygaena I think) 12 A. retroflexus because I'm missing the P. benedeni bourlette 10 and 11 G. aduncus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use the database to further identify some of the others I have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Ugh, I'm not great with goblins and sand tigers. 10 and 11 are definitely Physogaleus contortus. 8 is some kind of Carcharhinus sp. tooth. No clue which species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
