Top photo shows a modern lemon shark tooth, and below it a tiger shark tooth.

I Agree, modern not fossil for those two.

The second one looks like a bull or dusky shark. And it is fossil.

The modern shark teeth are Galeocerdo cuvier and a lower Carcharhinus. Dont know which species. You can see small serrations on the main cusp, lemon sharks don’t have a serrated main cusp. The fossil tooth is also a Carcharhinus species.

Hey!  To the forum from France!

 

Nice teeth you have there,hope you are satisfied with the given ID.

Just a little tip for future posts: Instead of making many threads just to post more pictures, you can continue to post pictures on one single post. It will save you and us time .

Kind regards,

Thomas

Thanks, it's great how helpful everyone has been - and so quickly!

 

I did try to put all the photos in one post, but it kept telling me there is a 3-something MB limit to uploads and my files total 7MB.  So I figured if I had to split them, I'd do it somewhat by type.  Sorry, I'll try to make the photos clearer and of smaller size next time.

 

Two more things:

1. I believe that I didn't receive an ID on 3 of the teeth (I added the photos)
2. Is there a good book or website where I can learn about how to identify fossils - especially shark teeth - that's not too technical nor too basic?

The forum should be able to ID them.

I am sure that you can get books showing the different types of teeth.

You can do more posts on the thread,adding pictures 1 by 1 or 2 by 2. No need to do another thread.

Elasmo.com and Jelasmo.com are good for shark teeth.

If You refresh the page it will allow You to load more pictures in the replies.

Bigger pictures are better for getting ids, lets us see more details.

Also, when posting several pieces on one thread,  please number the pieces so it is easier to make reference.

A scale would help.

First looks like a Carcharhinus sp. bull/dusky

The other two look like Isurus oxyrinchus AKA shortfin mako.
