Dan9949 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm very new to everything to do with Fossils, so bear with me. Recently i went to Antwerp, Belgium to look for some shark teeth. I found a few teeth in about 3 hours of siving. Even though most were broken, i'd like to be able to identy atleast the whole ones. I'd gladly appreciate any help i can get! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 #I,5,6,& 7 are Makos. #2, tigershark #3&4 appear to be Sandtiger. I dont know enough about the location to give exact species. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 1st one is Carcharodon hastalis ( before the name was Cosmopolitodus hastalis ) 2nd one is a fragment of Galeocerdo latidens 1 growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Dan9949 Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thanks a lot guys, helped me out a lot already. Nr.3 is still a mystery though, I've looked up several sand tiger shark teeth, but it doesn't really look like it. Everything else seems on point!

Darktooth Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 #3 could possibly be an extremely worn Hemipritis serra ( Snaggletooth) lower tooth. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
