Hello, this is my very first find of thresher shark tooth over here in southern Slovakia (Lučenec region). Age: early Miocene/Eggenburgian (Central Paratethys). I have made some pictures from different angles to make the identification easier. It looks like Alopias exigua tooth to me., but since this is my first thresher shark I have some doubts... Have compared it to the extant Alopias superciliosus too (looks very similar), but this species appeared later in Middle Miocene, so I have exluded this option... If it is the Alopias exigua, I can add the first thresher shark species to my collection. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I have found this tooth last year in Lučenec region, southern Slovakia. Age: lower Miocene/Eggenburgian (Central Paratethys). Scale is in cm. It looks like Isurus retroflexus tooth, but I want to be 100% about it. If it is the one, I can finaly add the first of this kind to my collection. Thank you in advance.

Hello, this tooth was found in Lučenec region, southern Slovakia. Age: Eggenburgian (Central Paratethys): about 20.8 – 18.3 mil years old. Scale is in cm. Although there is nothing left out of the root, the crown is still very nicely preserved. Comparing to its size, the crown is really broad and flat. Could this be the Isurus retroflexus tooth (maybe the broad form) ? Haven't been lucky with these so far.

I have a little doubt about this one here. I have found this piece in Lučenec region, southern Slovakia. Age: Eggenburgian (Central Paratethys): so about 20.8 – 18.3 mil old. Scale is in cm. The tooth is lightly curved without any serrations. After some observations of the root and the transitional area between the tooth and the root I have ended up with conclusion, that this should be Isurus desori aka Isurus oxyrinchus tooth. What do you think?
