BigJim2500 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Do you think you could send a profile shot of the teeth? They look like some species of sand tiger shark to me, but I can’t say for sure unless they have that bend in them. Only other thing that they possibly could be is Shortfin mako, but they don’t really have the smaller teeth on the side. Most likely they are sand tiger shark.

Sand tiger teeth are my most common find, these don’t quite match the profile I’m familiar with, I will take the photos shortly, thank you for your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubapro67 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 My guess would be Cretaceous Mackerel shark of some sort (possibly Archaeolamna kopingensis). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharko69 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I think Scubapro67 is correct with Archaeolamna. But the brown one looks different to me and not sand tiger either... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the cusps are small serrated segments, I’m not sure what it could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNG Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 My first guess on the two smaller, dark teeth was mackeral shark...but I looked around and found some pics of lateral sand tiger teeth that look very much like yours. The tan one (good looking tooth) resembles a mako to me but not sure about the cusps. Still have a lot to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the suggestion, that’s a possibility! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
