Potentially interesting Calvert Frm teeth

As I’ve mentioned in other posts, we got quite a bit of matrix from @sharkdoctor recently. Much of what he sent was from the Calvert Formation. Most of what we found was fairly easy to identify as Aaron provided the guide for the Calvert. 

 

When I got the very end of the bag from lag site 210, I found a couple of teeth that I could not match to those in the guide. They appear to me to be Catshark but of a different morphology than those in the guide and quite a bit different from those I had found. They are a bit larger than the other Catsharks I found and overall seem to look more like Pachyscyllium teeth. 

 

Unfortunately none are complete but there was one that is I think is complete enough to perhaps ID. 

 

I am going to send Aaron these pictures and they may get forwarded to the CMM  but in the meantime I wanted to see if I am way off base in my thinking. Any and all opinions are welcome. 

 

First tooth is the most complete and largest at 3mm .

These are the much less complete teeth. Again not sure any of these can be identified beyond my own suspicion that they could be Pachyscyllium.
