Top Trilo Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) Yep, I think your IDs are correct 1. Galeocerdo (Tiger Shark) 2. Carcharias (Sand Tiger Shark) 3. Hemipristis (Snaggletooth Shark) I'm not for certain, its pretty worn. 4. Hemipristis (Snaggletooth Shark) 5. Hemipristis (Snaggletooth Shark) 6. Not sure, wait for others. 7. Carcharodon carcharias (Great White Shark) Nice group of shark teeth!

Carcharodon carcharias (Great White Shark) Nice group of shark teeth! #3 looks like Physogaleus contortus, but I agree with the others. #6 looks like Carcharodon hastalis.

Coco Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Hi, In my opinion about 3, the root is much too thick to be a Physogaleus contortus, I think it is also a Hemipristis serra. In the future, number your photos, it’s easier to answer...

Its very worn and if you compare it to the hemi below, its serrations are almost gone so its possible #3's are just too worn. @Corry Are there serrations on the right side of your picture in #3?
