A basic ID question about teeth from the Megalodon lineage.

Recommended Posts

I have a couple of teeth I am very confident are Megalodon teeth, from the end of the lineage.  They have the classic Megalodon, upper jaw tooth profile.  I will post a pic of them, purely as a frame of reference. 

 

My general ID question, is in relation to the "other teeth" in the next pics which follow afterward.  In your opinion, how many and which of those teeth are possibly from somewhere in the Megalodon lineage.  Any comments are welcome.  I don't know the origin of any of the teeth in question.  Thanks in advance.

All of my larger teeth, minus the teeth I know are Otodus teeth from Morocco.  Obviously, no need to show those here.

Zoomed in a little better, without the measurement reference.

The white residue on the bottom middle tooth, is from being mounted in a display case with putty; many years ago.

These all appear to be from the megalodon lineage, either C. chubutensis. C. angustidens, or C. auriculatus
