Moroccan Eocene shark teeth and jaw bone

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased some more Moroccan fossils, including several shark teeth...I tried IDing them on my own, here are my guesses (scale is in inches; 1 inch = 2.5 cm), am I close? I don’t have much experience IDing Eocene teeth, so I’m not sure. Thanks!!!

 

1. Otodus obliquus

2. Cretolamna appendiculata

@Anomotodon @Praefectus @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Would any of you have any input on these if you get a free chance? You all helped me learn a lot from that Moroccan crocodile tooth a while back, thanks for that btw! I’m hoping to learn from any mistakes I made in IDing these teeth here

Sorry, can't really help you, I'm afraid. I know next to nothing of sharks' teeth... Marine reptiles is where my expertise lies.
