Today I visited one of my local shark tooth sites for a bit of scratching in the sandy conglomerate. I usually end up with a few Carcharias teeth after an hour or so, but this time this tooth popped out along with them. Could someone please confirm if this is a Galeocerdo posterior tooth, or could it be something else? The site is in the Miocene Ottnangian. Its 12mm. long

I'm pretty sure Galeocerdo aduncus has been described from the Miocene in Europe .. that's a possibility ?

Found in: Antwerpen, Belgium
Date: 2014
