Joeri_R Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hello, I went out collecting shark teeth at the beach near Knokke (West-Flanders, Belgium). The teeth found in Knokke are from Paleogene and Neogene period. I only took those which I think are still pretty good preserved for determination. I tried myself for putting names on it but I think I'll need help anyway Someone who can help me out with my sharkies? 1) Sylvestrielamia teretidens or Striatolamia macrota? 2) Physogaleus secundus 3) Brachycarcharias lerichei? 4) Sylvestrilamia teretidens? 5) 6) Lamna nasus or Odontaspis hopei? 7) Striatolamia macrota?

I think these teeth have too much wear to properly identify other than to say most look like some type of sand tiger. I don't think you have Physogaleus or Lamna in this group of teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoSr Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I agree with Eric. With the broad time period and condition of the teeth, unfortunately I don't think you can say much more than most of the teeth look like sand tiger teeth.
