While I have them out, I'll go over the Nebrius I have, starting with Nebrius thielensi from the middle Eocene Selsey Sand Fm. of Hampshire, England:

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

I may be wrong on this so take it with a grain of salt, I think these are Plicatoscyllium. Nice teeth.

I actually think you are correct. Here's a Plicatoscyllium from the late Cretaceous of Maastricht, from the Netherlands:

Last one for now. Delpitoscyllium from the late Paleocene,  Aquia Fm. of Maryland:

I will never not enjoy the fact that the largest extant shark has such tiny teeth!

 

 

Some Restesia (formerly Squatirhina, apparently)

 

I have a couple of nurse shark teeth from Aurora, but they don't look very nice.

Here's an odd carpet shark.  While fossils from Chile were appearing at shows in the late 90's and into the 2000's, I didn't see a lot of smaller teeth available.  Near the end of that stuff, I picked up some specimens that were smaller like a juvenile Pristiophorus (sawshark) rostral spine, a Galeorhinus tooth, and a sand tiger tooth plus what I think is a Pristiophorus tooth.  I also found a tooth that one dealer had just a few of and this was the last one he was selling.  It was identified as Brachaelurus cf. waddi.  B. waddi is the modern blind shark known mostly off the eastern Australia coast.

 

My brother was able to get a good shot of it though it's only 4mm along the slant.

Extremely jealous Jess. That’s a great find.

It’s been awhile since I’ve gotten to add to this thread and it’s not a great picture. I left my former job and no longer have access to the equipment that it possibly to photograph micros so this is a crappy phone pic lol 

 

This came from @JamieLynn. Was very excited to add this. Took me quite a bit of research to be fairly positive of the ID but it’s a good fit.

This is an undescribed Orectolobus or Squatina tooth from the Eocene, Nanjemoy Formation of Virginia.  I have a good number of all the described Orectolobiformes and Squatiniformes from the Nanjemoy Formation, but only a single example of this tooth design.

Interesting tooth. I can’t offer up anything other than I’ve not seen any Eocene teeth like it

[fossilsonwheels]

Ginglymostoma sp

Eocene

Bashi Formation 

Lauderdale Co Mississippi 

 

I feel comfortable calling it Ginglymostoma. Nebrius also occurs in this formation. 

[fossilsonwheels]

Cantioscyllium sp

Cretaceous

Black Creek Group

Pender Co North Carolina 

 

I don’t know which Black Creek Group Formation this one is from and I’m not 100% sure if the ID is correct but it’s similar to other Cantioscyllium I have and I know they’re found in the Black Creek Group. 

[fossilsonwheels]

I’ve been wanting to add one of these for quite some time, a North American Palaeorhincodon.
