JLittlejohn Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Please help ID any of these sharks teeth that were collected from the west coast of Florida (near Venice) this past weekend. Based on my research, the top two rows look like Sand Tiger and the bottom two look like Lemon. Would this be correct or are there any that look out of sorts?

Shellseeker Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It is possible that lower right could be a lower Bull or Dusky Shark tooth. The 1st row could contain a worn lower Hemipristis, but not possible to be sure. I think sand tiger ( Carcharias taurus ) is more likely for all 3.

D.N.FossilmanLithuania Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Longer shark teeth are from sand tiger sharks (e.g. Odontaspis, Hypotodus and other genera), short teeth with flat roots look like from angel sharks (Squatinidae family).
