Belgian Shark Teeth (Antwerp - Miocene)

[BellamyBlake]

I have a few shark teeth from Belgium here. Belgian shark teeth are not my area and I'd appreciate some help identifying these. They're from the Antwerp Miocene, around 1/2" each.

 

Thank you,

Bellamy

For shark teeth from Antwerp, I can recommend you this determination system : https://www.paleontica.org/id_system/fossil_id_search.php?vindpl_id=13

 

These are my educated guesses haha:

 

4, 6, 7 and 9 C. hastalis (although I'm not sure about 7, might be an I. oxyrinchus)

1, 2, 3 and 5 maybe C. acutissimus or vorax or O. reticulata, I'm not a pro at identifying those kinds of teeth

8 C. acanthodon? (not 'thick' enough for S. zygaena I think)

12 A. retroflexus because I'm missing the P. benedeni bourlette

10 and 11 G. aduncus

Thank you :D. I'll use the database to further identify some of the others I have

Ugh, I'm not great with goblins and sand tigers. 

 

10 and 11 are definitely Physogaleus contortus. 

8 is some kind of Carcharhinus sp. tooth. No clue which species.

Thank you, that's helpful! I'm not great with these myself.
