Carcharhinus cf macloti Hardnose Shark By far, the most common teeth in the bunch 7. 8. Is this also C. macloti or something different? 9. Carcharhinus isodon Finetooth Shark (Not Lemon Shark) 10. Negaprion brevirostris Lemon Shark 11. Rhizoprionodon fischeuri Sharp Nose Shark 12. 13. Galeocerdo aduncus Tiger Shark 14, Lateral Carcharhinus (Not Tiger Shark) 15.

Al Dente Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 #1 is probably Sphyrna. #10 looks like Carcharhinus isodon #15 is a lateral Carcharhinus #18 looks like a Carcharhinus symphyseal #20 has some serrations so it is probably a lateral Carcharhinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 #22 looks like Hemipristis The leaf shaped teeth are fish teeth, probably mackerel or small tuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
