i'm far (farthest) from an expert but it looks like a anterior Goblin shark based on the heavy striation and the pronounced nutrient groove.  If i'm actually correct i will buy myself a beer!

I believe its an odontaspidae, also i dont know much about common names, but isnt a goblin shark scaphanorhynchus, which is cretaceous and therefore the wrong age?

maybe @Al Dente could help identifying it

From big brook, 1. Are goblin shark teeth, 2. Is an archaeolamna kopingensis tooth, 3. Are cretalamna appendiculata teeth, 4. Looks like a ray plate to me, but I couldn’t I.D it’s exact species if it is, and 5. I think they’re pristodontus, but I’d wait for a couple more experienced members see.

2 – Is it from Big Brook? Looks like Archaeolamna, but wait for confirmation from others.

3 – Cretolamna sp. (appendiculata is restricted to Upper Cenomanian and Turonian)

5 – Squalicorax kapui

First tooth from bracklesham looks like Striatolamia (sand tiger). As for the big brook teeth I would say all the goblins look like scapanorhynchus. I agree with @Praefectus for the rest, Archaeolamna, Cretolamna and S. kaupi/lindstromi.

Haha:)

 

on another note @Praefectus could the archeolamna maybe be a.kopingensis

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been busy organizing the next TFF rolling auction (check it out).:P

 

A. kopingensis appears to be a match. I am not super familiar with Archaeolamna species identification. 

 

As for Cretolamna sp., Big brook is Campanian-Maastrichtian (I think?). Based on that, C. sarcoportheta, C. borealis, and C. arambourgi are all possibilities. I would have to read through the scientific literature again to give a species ID. 

 

Here is the link to the article the revised Cretolamna
