Sharks' teeth from Belgium


Kasia

Recommended Posts

Dear teeth and bones' experts :)

I need some help to ID a lot of sharks' teeth that I got from Belgium. 90% of them have no ID.

Here is the overall picture of the lot (with numbers of groups):

The seller put them in separate packages, so I took the pictures as he grouped them.

This is the most numerous group no.1 - to the right on the first picture:

those look to me as a lot of Brachycarcharias lerichei  from the eocene.

No. 9

I will appreciate any suggestions as what they are and which location they could come from.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

 

Please put numbers to your pics to facilitate the answers.

 

1st pic of your last but one post : probably Isurus or its new genus.

 

2nd pic : 2 teeth on right side : Squatina.

 

3rd pic : probably Carcharhinus.

I have my doubts of the origin of group 2, 3, 4 and 5 they don't seem right to be Belgian sharkteeth, the colour is odd. 

They seem to be Miocene species, but I've never seen this kind of coulour around here from teeth from those deposits.

 

lot 8 and 9 seem to be Legit, probably from the area of Antwerpen ( Miocene / Pliocene ) , mostly Cosmopolitodus hastalis  ( former Isurus hastalis )

Thanks - could be as well the case, as the seller didn't provide any information as to their origin.

Those teeth look a lot like teeth from Sharktooth hill.

Definately not #5!

They might hold some similar mineralization in the soils, but I think that's as close as it gets.

Yep, not the teeth in picture 5, those type are not found in STH material.
