Mainefossils Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 @Kolya So, after your last post, I have done some research on Miocene and Eocene shark teeth from Ukraine and nearby countries. I have found some literature that might be of use to you for future finds, which is cited below: Mollen, F. H. (2008) A New Middle Eocene Species of Premontreia (Elasmobrachii, Scyliorhinidae) from Vlaams-Brabant, Belgium. Geologica Belgica, 11. https://popups.uliege.be/1374-8505/index.php?id=2381&file=1&pid=2380 Diedrich, C. G.

But, in Leder, R. M.(2013), he mentions the genus Iago, which shares similar characteristics to your tooth. To see if I can find the formation this is from, what is the exact latitude and longitude? Hope this helps! 1 The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing. Regards, Asher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
