Here is the only megalodon posterior in My collection

I found it at Sharktooth hill.

I remember seeing that tooth when we met to dig at STH. Cool tooth.

 

Here's an addition from me and one not too many likely have. An extreme (end of the row) lower tooth from Isistius triangulus (Cookiecutter Shark) from the famous Cookiecutter Creek. This one is headed to the FLMNH collection soon (with a number of others).

Managed to cough up some Beaumaris teeth that seemed to fit the criteria - are any of these actually extreme posterior?

The first two are hastalis to the best of my knowledge, and the next three are some species of tiger shark, I think

Thank You for adding to this thread.

Your first tooth could be a posterior Carcharodon hastalis.

The last tooth looks like a posterior Galeocerdo sp. (Hard to be sure in the condition it is in.)

The other teeth do not look like posterior teeth.

As a general rule the posterior teeth have a compressed crown and are laterally elongated. They also tend to be smaller than the other teeth in the jaws.

 

Take a look at the tooth sets on these sites....

It has lost all the enamel except for a tiny bit on the back, but the root seems to be complete

Here is another carcharodon hastalis posterior (in matrix) with a nice lateral tooth for contrast.

And another group shot of carcharodon and isirus sp. posterior (different than the previous group shot.)

A shot of most of the carcharodon and isirus sp. teeth (both group pictures combined).

And some Galeocerdo aduncus posterior teeth.

And some Squalus occidentalis (tooth on left is a typical lateral tooth for comparison.).

In this picture some are set on their root and some are flipped from last picture.

Not really sure about these ones. There is at least one that does not belong in this thread....

Anybody have an idea on identity?

The teeth on the right do not look like posterior teeth to me.  I agree with Eric that there are definitely symphyseal teeth in the group of teeth to the right and a few anterior/lateral teeth. Most teeth to the right look like Carcharhinus species but there are several other species also.

 

Teeth to the left look like lower Carcharhinus teeth and like laterals.  The top left tooth looks pathological.  Most shark species that have distinct posterior teeth only have a couple of posterior teeth with very low, nondescript crowns.
