Referred material.
CUF - NKNY - S 3 - 3, CUF - NKNY - S 4 - 3, CUF - NKNY - S 5 - 3, CUF - NKNY - SC- 2, CUF - NKNY - SC- 7, CUF - NKNY - SD - 4, CUF - NKNY - SD - 5, CUF - NKNY - SD - 11, CUF - NKNY - SE- 8, CUF - NKNY - SE- 16 (10 teeth).
Description.
These teeth are poorly preserved. The crown is generally triangular, more or less narrow, and symmetric with serration incompletely preserved. The root is broken away or does not display the details of its vascularisation pattern.
Taxonomic remarks and comparisons.
The presence of triangular serrated crowns suggests that most of the teeth belong to upper ones of Carcharhinus and / or Glyphis , but their poor preservation does not allow a more precise identification. The specimen CUF - NKNY - SC- 7 may represent a lower tooth of C. leucas / C. amboinensis , but without the root and the base of the crown preserved, this is impossible to ascertain.
