Some teeth I found from Brownies that don't look like any other sand tigers I usually find. Many of them are very worn and broken. I'm no expert but my guess is that they are Eocene teeth. 

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

Some of the larger ones

I agree that those teeth look to be at least as old as Eocene because that first group looks like Striatolamia.  However, I had a vague memory of a similar recent question.  Check out this link:

I'm not a true expert on shark teeth, but I do know enough to try to guess on what these may be. Now I may probably some guesses wrong or mixed up with much similar species, but I'll guess here.

Remember that these are all just guesses, and that I may be far from right on any of them. But still, hope this may help.
