Hi, @alexander-levin – here is a link with some more info on the classification: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=83182
Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Chordata > Class Chondrichthyes > Order Carchariniformes @bill-heim has a better handle on the taxonomy for sure.
If you could upload a closer up image with a scale bar that will help us confirm your identification.
I enlarged the image and lightened it to get a better view. It is not a Hemipristis. It appears to be a bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) with damage on the posterior (left in the image) side.
Thanks for your insight, @bill-heim. You can update your classification with this new information @alexander-levin!
