Kolya Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hello! Is it tooth of shark from genus Galeocerdo? And if it possible to identify species? Western Ukraine, Lviv region. Probably, Neogene. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Genus Geleocerdo, confirmed. Age of sediments nd size (we can't tell by the hashmarks) will help decide if G. Cuvier or G. aduncus 1 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' George Santayana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I agree it is a Galeocerdo tooth. I'm leaning more towards G. aduncus. G. cuvier teeth have more complex serrations. Age and size would help confirm the ID. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And You can check a size, on both photos are line in mm on a top of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
