Somniosus Belgium Shark Tooth?

[darktheumbreon]

This Miocene tooth is 9.7mm and was from Antwerp, Belgium. It may be a Somniosus sp. tooth, what do you guys think?

Somniosus microcephalus

Thanks, I wanted a second opinion because it does seem like a Somniosus tooth but it looks much straighter and less curved/smooth than others I've seen.

Definitely Greenland Shark. Great tooth. Thanks for sharing.

Check these out these teeth on this website.  You can see a couple of variations

You don't often see an identifiable Somniosus tooth for sale.  You generally have to trade for them and you need to have something equally unusual (something else you don't often see for sale) to get one.

 

That specimen is actually better than the one I have so you might consider buying it.  You could hold out for something that has more of the root, but if you really want an example for your collection, go for it.
