Oligocene sharks from vicinity of Poljšica near Podnart, Slovenia

Abstract

Poljšica and surroundings are known for numerous interesting fossil remains. Among the rarest fossil remains are vertebrates, and in the Poljšica Oligocene these consist exclusively of fish remains. In this contribution are considered six teeth of sharks, five belonging to species Carcharias cuspidatus (Agassiz, 1843), except a single problematic tooth that can be attributed most probably to genus Cosmopolitodus.
