Shark tooth - Lower/Middle Oxford clay boundary

Pre-apologies for the picture, it is rather small and doesn't pick up well on my camera... Nonetheless, can anyone help identify this tooth? I have the name on the tip of my tongue, but my books are not with me to help identify it...

Is this a species of cowshark? It's a neat looking tooth. What time period is it from?

Looks like some sort of cow shark to me

Oxford Clay is Jurassic if I am correct. reminds me of Echinorhinus (Bramble Shark) but wrong time period. Very interesting tooth.

 

 

Edit: There are known Hexanchidae from the Jurassic my mistake. So this does make this a possibility. @Darktooth

It is indeed Notidanus cf. muensteri upper lateral which are indeed known from Oxford clay and are cowsharks (Hexanchiformes).

Thank you for the help, I appreciate it! I have more micro-Paleontological residue to sift today so there is the potential for more finds..
