3 days, 15 hours ago3 days, 15 hours agoLooks similar to the Carcharhinus limbatus @Bill-Heim ID’d last week (https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/63582/)
-
Very interesting specimen in that it is a transitional form. Modern upper C. limbatus have fine serrations on the cusp. Earlier (prior to Miocene) Carcharhinids often have an unserrated cusps. This tooth has partial and incomplete serrations. New species’ names have often be determined on such minor details.
-

We would need further specimens and then check all of the literature which for that species is probably very extensive. And after all of this it would have a good likely hood of being rejected as too similar to the modern species.

Hi @Kevin-Kelly! @VPerez or @Bill-Heim should be able to help you with specimen identification.
-
maybe tiger shark maybe Galecerdo aduncus? Due to condition, not readily identifiable.

Hi @Kevin-Kelly! Great specimen. @VPerez or @Bill-Heim should be able to help you with specimen identification.

Carcharodon planus
-
Hi @Kevin-Kelly. It appears this specimen is missing geochronology data and that the genus and specific epithet are mismatched.
-
See that too, fixed.
-
Also the taxon wizard doesn’t contain Carcharodon planus, I can only select to the level of Carcharodon, then forced to type planus in the species field manually. Is there a way to add Carcharodon planus to the taxon wizard?

Hi @Kevin-Kelly! @VPerez or @Bill-Heim should be able to help you with specimen identification.
-
Hard to say for sure since it’s broken, but looks like Physogaleus contortus.
-
Has serrations, but the image angle and the damage make it hard to ID. Possible Physogaleus symphyseal tooth but I am not anything close to sure.
