Hello, I see these shark teeth from an auction. I don't know if they are fossilized or come from a recent animal. Unfortunately the photos are not very good. I still wonder what kind of shark these teeth could have come from. My first idea was Megamouth shark, but teeth of these are of course very rare. On the other hand, it might fit because the teeth are found on Japan's coast and Megamouth sharks are also found there (if there are recent species). Can you help me with the ID? I'm really not quite sure, I've never seen teeth like this before. Thank you and best regards from Germany.

Found this tooth in Bakersfield, in the Round Mountain Silt formation on Nov 12, 2017. From looking at the diagrams on this site, I think it could be megamouth shark tooth. But I am not sure, since I think that is not a tooth found in that formation. Any comments or ideas are appreciated.

Hello, These two teeth were found at the Ernst Quarries Slow Curve Quarry in Bakersfield. These two are quite distinct and unlike anything else in my collection so far. I think they may be megamouth teeth, but I know those are quite rare. The roots look similar also to a lower snaggletooth or a tiger shark with a fairly pronounced lingual protuberance. Any help would be appreciated. Another photo.
