Shark Teeth Identification

Recommended Posts

I have several shark teeth from Post Oak Creek in Grayson County, Texas and I was hoping to get help with identification. From what I've read it is the Cretaceous period.  Here are some of them.  Thank you in advance.

top left, as best I can tell, is Ptychodus anonymus

bottom left is sand tiger, middle is goblin, bottom right could be either

Thank you so much! When you say the middle is goblin do you mean the top or bottom middle?

I have never seen the top left one before, so thanks for that id.

Maybe Otodus for the top middle tooth (don't quote me though) If not Otodus then Cretolamna Appendiculata or the Extinct Goblin Shark.

Welcome to the forum. This could be helpful if you haven't already discovered it.             

Thank you!  I hadn't come across this one yet. It looks very helpful. :)

Thank you for helping me!  That was my favorite find of the day.

Two teeth in top right are likely Cretodus (more pictures would help though), top left Ptychodus, as already mentioned, and bottom ones are Scapanorhynchus cf. raphiodon (except for the right one, unlikely it can be precisely identified in such condition).
