I'm curious to know the identity of these shark teeth so help from experienced fossil hunters would be much appreciated!

It would be helpful to have a scale so we can see their size.

Cretalamna does seem like a reasonable guess for these ones, I've seen similar Cretalamna teeth reported from the Danish and German chalks

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

Hello and welcome to the forum! :meg:

 

1. I think the first one could be Cretodus, but would like to see it from the side. The root should look like a shelf:

2. I agree with @The Amateur Paleontologist, the second is Cretalamna appendiculata - a nice one for that site. 

 

The remaining teeth (except the last) don't have much to go on, I would call them indeterminate lamniforms. The last one could be Ptychodus, I think I can see a hint of the beaded ornamentation of the enamel.
