Here are several teeth from Late Albian of Ukraine (Kanev region). Help with identification will be very appreciated.

1. Tooth is fairly worn, but it should preserve the original shape (no cusplets). Root is poorly preserved, but is it possible to determine who it came from? I am thinking about an early Anacoracid or a Carcharhiniform (Triakidae)? By the way, Anacoracids are extremely rare there, so there is really nothing for comparison.

2. Most likely a tiny Synechodus crown, but the shape looks weird for Synechodus. Could it be a Scyliorhinid?

3. Anacoracid? It has some serrations on the distal side. Also thought about Squaliform, but the root looks more lamnoid-like.

4. Scyliorhinid or Lamnoid??

5. Almost 100% sure it is a Hemiscylliidae, but is it possible to determine the genus? I am leaning towards Chilloscyllium, but not sure.
