Notorynchus tooth?

[Ludwigia]

I found this tooth at my favorite shark tooth site in Southern Germany today. Miocene Burdigalian, Oberemeeresmolasse Formation. I'm pretty sure that this is a Notorynchus sp. parasymphesal upper frontal, but I'd just like to ask the shark specialists if they would agree. Slant length including root is 19mm.

It’s a Hemipristis lower anterior tooth.

I think that's actually from the symphysis - one of the teeth with a very simple root like that between the larger anteriors.  I guess it's how you slice it in there.  It's tough to find a complete one because they are easily broken along their narrow length.  Great find.

Hi,

 

Yes, it is a lower parasymphysis tooth of Hemipristis serra.
