I just got this and I am pretty happy. I had hoped to knock this genus off my list. 

 

Cretorectlobus

It has been awhile since I added to this thread. A recent addition and one I am super happy to have. A very pretty Wobbegong tooth from Australia

Have you seen any modern references that place Megascyliorhinus in the Orectolobiformes? I know decades ago some thought it was related to Rhincodon but I can’t find a modern reference that doesn’t place it within the Carcharhiniforms.

I went by Elasmo and Fossilworks but I see what you mean. I looked at a few recent papers and it does seem to be considered Carcharhiniformes. Thank you for the information.

I will photographing more of our Carpet shark teeth tomorrow but for now here is a pretty cool tooth. I am pretty sure nurse shark teeth from BV are Ginglymostoma but if I have this wrong, please let me know. This is probably our prettiest Orectolobiformes tooth. Very colorful. 

 

Ginglymostoma sp

Miocene

Bone Valley

Florida

[fossilsonwheels]

This is an unidentified Jurassic Orectolobiformes. It’s from the UK, Hartwell Clay. I don’t think it’s Pseudospinax but that’s as far as I’ve gotten with the ID. Still, another Jurassic Carpet Shark is a good tooth to have.

Restesia americanus 

Cretaceous

Aguja Formation 

Texas

 

I have to double check the spelling on the species. We found a fair number of these while searching matrix. 

[fossilsonwheels]

We found exactly 1 Chiloscyllium in our recent Atco Formation micro hunt and this is it. 

[fossilsonwheels]

Nebrius sp

Eocene

Tallahata Formation 

Alabama

 

Have not added anything to this thread in a long time. It does not appear as though anybody else has either  lol Our largest Nebrius tooth though incomplete. Still a happy addition. 

[fossilsonwheels]

Here is an oddball Nurse Shark genus. A nice little addition to the collection I think. 

 

Hologinglymostoma

Paleocene

Ben Idir

Morocco

[fossilsonwheels]

Cederstroemia sp

Cretaceous

Burim suite

Ukraine

 

A nice pick up I think. Great location.

I also have a few teeth from Aguja that need to be photographed.

Very nice Cantioscyllium. 

[fossilsonwheels]

We found a couple of Cantioscyllium teeth during our Mesaverde searches. I didn’t get good pictures but they are nice teeth.

You'll have to forgive poor photo quality-I have an old phone and no microscope. But here's a Ginglymostoma lehneri from the Cretaceous Escondido Fm. of Texas:

A trio of Ginglymostoma defortriei from the Miocene Hawthorn Group of Gainesville, Florida:

[Jesuslover340]

These were hard to get a decent picture of because of the colour. Only managed to get both sides of one tooth. Ginglymostoma angolense from the Eocene of Khouribga, Morocco:

 

[Jesuslover340]

Couple of Ginglymostoma subafricanum from the late Paleocene of Khouribga, Morocco:

[Jesuslover340]

The phone camera hated how tiny this one. Could not get a decent photo, sorry. Ginglymostoma globidens from the Cretaceous of Delaware:

[Jesuslover340]

Couple of Ginglymostoma maroccanum, Cretaceous Severn Fm. of Maryland:

[Jesuslover340]

Another eensy weensy tooth-Ginglymostoma maroccanum, early Paleocene Brightseat Fm. of Maryland:

[Jesuslover340]

A nice Ginglymostoma maroccanum, early Eocene Bashi Fm. of Mississippi:

[Jesuslover340]

And last of the Ginglymostoma here, Ginglymostoma maroccanum from the early Eocene Nanjemoy Fm. of Virginia:
