Enchodus teeth?

Recommended Posts

I picked up some teeth labeled as Enchodus fangs but there are a couple that don't quite look like the rest. 

Are these Enchodus teeth and located in the jaw behind the fangs.... or not Enchodus at all.... or something else?! 

Scale is CM.

I am unsure where these were found but based on a lot of other fossils sold there I'd guess Morocco.

What gets my attention is Enchodus fangs have a distinctive shape and a carina.

These teeth have 2 cutting edges and are obviously not the typical fang shape - the darker tooth more so.  

Sorry about the pics, it's an old Samsung and it can't figure out lighting and is not good at macro

They look like Enchodus to me.

Thank you @Fossildude19 and @Parthicus

I would assume these don't come up for sale nearly as often/not as common as the larger front "fangs"? I haven't seen anything but fangs sold at this place and generic online searches mostly bring up fangs or partial jaws.

Either way, both teeth in the pics above are nice specimens with an in tact tip so they've been added to my collection :)
