Rhomphaiodon ('Hybodus') minor

These teeth are fairly common to find in the size range 2mm to 4mm. However, they are rare to find approaching their maximum size at approximately 10mm in height. This specimen is 9mm across the base and was found in the Intraformational Conglomerate (which is also known as the Basal Bone Bed) of the Westbury Formation, Penarth Group of Aust Cliff, South Gloucestershire.

Hybodus cloacinus

These teeth are rare to find complete. They are difficult to distinguish with Rhomphaiodon except that they can approach 25mm in height and width. This specimen is 16mm across the base and was found in the Intraformational Conglomerate (which is also known as the Basal Bone Bed) of the Westbury Formation, Penarth Group of Aust Cliff, South Gloucestershire.

Lissodus minimus

These teeth are the most common to find in the size range 2mm to 4mm. However, they are rare to find approaching their maximum size at approximately 7mm across. This lateral tooth is 7mm across the base and was found in the Intraformational Conglomerate (which is also known as the Basal Bone Bed) of the Westbury Formation, Penarth Group of Aust Cliff, South Gloucestershire.
