Hi, @lisa-coble – I think you can include Order Carchariniformes > Family Carcharhinidae. I’ll tag in @bill-heim and @fauve-wilson, our resident shark experts. It would be good if you had another image of the fossil from the other side and possibly a higher quality image, this one is difficult to enlarge to confirm your identification.
If you are interested in narrowing down the geologic context head to Macrostrat: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=7.1/x=-76.4097/y=34.9189/bedrock/lines/
Talk to you soon, Jen
Genus – Carcharhinus, Specific Epithet – perezii (Caribbean Reef Shark)
