5 months, 1 week ago5 months, 1 week agoThe large posterior serrations and lack of medial serrations along with its small size make me think that this is possibly Paragaleus and not Hemipristis. The pathology makes it difficult to be sure.

6 months ago6 months agoOne of the difficulties with Sphyrna is that sharpnose Rhizoprionodon closely resemble them. I suspect they are related. Sharpnose are usually smaller and the posterior angle is very slightly different. Having examined teeth from both jaws, I would say that this is a posterior Sphyna albeit a small one.

6 months, 3 weeks ago6 months, 3 weeks agoI spent a lot of time looking at this. The shadows from your illumination didn’t help. Also you may want to crop the images and eliminate much of the blank background. The size and the angles of the mesial edge of the tooth (which was hard to make out due to your shadowing by illuminating from the other side) indicate Rhizoprionodon terraenovae

6 months, 4 weeks ago6 months, 4 weeks agoThe problem with collecting teeth on the beach particularly from the ocean or in this case dredged is that you have no idea from what formation or what actual age it is from. This is why in situ material is so much more valuable as to location and context.
