Paleoc Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Notice the size of the root.. (same 2 teeth) Physogaleus contortus - an extinct tiger-like shark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleoc Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) - C. leucas? Top picture another Physogaleus contortus Bottom picture - mostly Carcharhinus brachyurus - Copper shark; 2 of the teeth - 9:00 o'clock and 7:00 are Carcharhinus falciformis - Silky shark, 12:00 is probably Carcharhinus limbatus - Blacktip shark. 2 at right 1:00 and 3:00 are Carcharhinus species lower teeth - very difficult to id most Carcharhinus lower teeth to a particular species.
