What shark is this?


indominus rex

Recommended Posts

This was from a pile of shark I bought from a seller in Belgium. I believe this one is from Antwerp. I have no idea what shark it is. Could it be a type of Mako? Any information would be helpful. Regards, indominus rex.

Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils;).

It does not look like the preservation I know from Antwerp, but I have no Idea where it could be from.

Possibly Isurus retroflexus?

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

I’m not great with Mako species but it certainly looks very Isurus-like.

Happy hunting,

I agree with @gigantoraptor, it doesn’t look like the preservation of Antwerp sharkteeth. When it comes to species I’m torn between hastalis and oxyrinchus, but I lean more to the hastalis determination. (It’s certainly not a retroflexus since it misses the labial ridge)
