Dear All,
Thank you for the continuous feedback ragarding "my" strange, non-mammalian tooth. Shark looks a good guess, but now I see that I will need to consider other options and enlist the help of a resident palaeontologist in Turkey, as autopsy is very important.
Best wishes,
Laszlo

Yes, I thought they might be crocodile as they appear thecodont. Or even
some kind of big varanosaur (of course, Mosasaurs are varanosaurs too).
