This species lived only in the Miocene Upper left tooth is a labial view, all others are lingual views. These are much less common than grey shark teeth, and, if you're not careful, they can easily be confused with them. However, notice the deep notch in the roots, and that there are no serrations present on the teeth. Angel sharks are very flat, looking more like a Ray than a Shark. Some species can reach lengths up to 6 feet.
Angel sharks bury themselves on the Ocean bottom, and wait for prey to swim by.
They feed on fish, mollusks, crustaceans. Their mouths house numerous tiny teeth for grasping. Because Squantina teeth are very small, they are difficult to find. All of my teeth were found by screening. This fossil species lived from the late Oligocene to the Miocene.
