Looks like Palaeohypotodus but I need to see the other side.
@bill-heim my bad should have both sides now
I would go with that.
Thanks!
@bill-heim I am seeing that there are 4 species in the genus (speyeri, volgensis, rutoti, lerichei) and see that the rutoti images are from Aquia Fm, would this be a rutoti or are other species in play at Purse?
You need to work on your species: speyeri is listed as Odontaspis, volgnsis is russian made up nonsense as they love to create new species regardless of any previous references, lerichei is Brachycarcharias. It doesn’t have the long cusplets or the overhanging labial enamel of Odontaspis. It is also missing the little enamel basal cusplets that define Paleohypotodus but these aren’t always present so I would call it Paleohypotodus rutoti.
