Searcher78 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The teeth of a “hound” shark and a “tope” shark can look similar. I’m leaning toward “hound” shark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcher78 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The pictures of physogaleus teeth I looked at didn’t have a prominent overhang of the root, but maybe some do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The enamel bulge is unusual for Physogaleus but I would still call these Physogaleus. Here are some similar ones with the same bulge that are also from Ukraine.

D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Looks like from Physogaleus or very related genus from the same family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
