Striations on Miocene Shark Teeth

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Recently came back from a fossil hunting trip from a Miocene age deposit.

 

Was looking through some of my finds and noticed that what I believe to be sand tiger (Carcharias taurus) teeth have striations on them. I am fairly new to shark teeth collecting and was wondering if only sand tiger's have them as I have not seen them on other genus.

 

Wondering if anyone here that is more knowledgeable could shed light.

 

Thanks in advance.

Shark teeth test photos are more than welcome to help in the answers.

Several genuses have striations, either full or partial. Besides sand-tigers, the first one that comes to mind is goblin sharks.
