Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Some of these might be just tooth fragments, so please forgive me if they are. Any help IDing them would be great, thanks. They are all small except the last one which is 3/8 inch. The others less than 1/4 inch. Pics 1-4 of one tooth, pics 5-7 of second tooth, pics 8-10 of third tooth, pics 11-13 of forth tooth, and last 4 pics of tooth five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sharks Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 1 and 4 look like angel shark, 2 and 5 look like posterior Cretolamna or Serratolamna and 3, a posterior, but I'm not sure of what, maybe Carcharias. There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non-remanié Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I agree, 1&4 are squatina. 2 and 5 are posteriors, too worn for precise ID. But I think 3 is just a fragment with accessory denticles from a larger tooth. 1 and 4 look like angel shark, 2 and 5 look like posterior Cretolamna or Serratolamna and 3, a posterior, but I'm not sure of what, maybe Carcharias. ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 OK, I knew that #4 was an angel shark, and it matches other angel sharks that I have in my collection, but #1 is different than all the others. Are you sure it is an Angel shark too? It curves back on itself. My other angel teeth don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
