Need assistance identifying shark fossil. Suspect it is Mako or Mackerel, due to curvature along lingual/labial axis. Unfortunately, the root is badly eroded. Found along Amelia Island (NE Florida). Thank you, -Steve

Found these in a creek in south east Alabama over a year ago, I was looking at them and noticed these look a bit different from the normal sand tiger teeth, any ideas? Thanks!(sorry I see the pictures don't look great, I'm in a bit of a rush)

I would have found this on the peace river sometime this year, and was in my broader collection of teeth in a jar. I’ve been giving some fossils to a very cute family that walk by the house nightly, two 5 year old twin girls and their brother who is 7, and their mom and dad. Yesterday I poured some of teeth into some sand and shells I collected at Venice last year and told them to be sure to also find the very small ones. They did just that and brought this one by tonight and I couldn’t identify it. I grabbed this picture before they left, and the young man said if you identify it, will you please tell me what it is? So here I am hoping I don’t disappoint him, so any help would be appreciated. It’s a tiny tooth, so I don’t have any measurements. And o only have this one picture.

I was fortunate enough to find many nice teeth during 2020. These are some of either my nicest, favorite, or somewhat uncommon finds from my searching at Big Brook, NJ. These finds are late cretaceous (~65 million years old). Sources for identification: http://www.njfossils.net/cover.html Fossil Shark Teeth of the world, by Cocke The first picture are 4 of my largest and most complete goblin teeth (Scapanorhynchus texanus), all found on the same day! I think it had rained overnight, though there was no rain in the forecast. I think this along with unseasonably high temperatures led to bit of erosion. Picture #2: Mackerel teeth Left to right, first is Cretolamna appendiculata (lata?) and the latter two: Archaeolamna kopingensis. Mackerel teeth are some of my favorite due to their shape and cusplet size. Picture #3: A branchial tooth from an early drum fish (Anomaeodus phasolus). More photos will be uploaded in a comment.
