Not a fossil, but a modern jaw. You can perform a search on the forum or on another site that specializes in modern shark jaw identification.

Moved to GENERAL DISCUSSION.

 

This is where all recent shark jaw identifications are put.

You will need to take some better pictures of some individual teeth (preferably on a different flat  single colored background)  for proper ID.

See this topic:

You have been given good advice and it is up to you to act on it. You have to put in the work.

 

I have removed your duplicate request of the same item. You have already been instructed not to post duplicate topics for the same item, so it is important that you acknowledge your understanding of this.

Carcharhinus falciformes based on tooth count and tooth shape.

Hi, I agree with @Al Dente.

This is a Silky shark jaw, Carcharhinus falciformis :)

Always interesting to see jaws from modern sharks. When I started collecting fossils many many years ago and found some tooth I thought sharks do only have one type... Due to comparing my finds with teeth figured in some books and papers. When I was around 17 or 18 I have seen some jaws from different sharks on a show and "studied" them. And learned, most of them have very different forms. Always when I see modern jaws like the one posted here I remember and think, it should be good for all sharktooth-collectors to have some modern ones. 

So, thanks for posting the jaw. Might be not the right forum here (bit too young :-)), but otherwise a bridge from the past to the modern

For the diversity of teeth in the current jaws, look at my signature (heterodontic)

 

I think @MarcoSr also made a post about the current jaws.
