Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 33: 31-64, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2016.33.31, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2016.33.31 Abstract – An Early Oligocene (Rupelian, Kiscellian), partially published shark tooth material, unearthed from the Kiscell Clay (Budapest, Hungary) is shortly reviewed here.

A few shark taxa have been published by Wilhelm Weiler in 1933 and 1938, and some of this material was re-discovered in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. The here described shark taxa are Notorynchus primigenius, Hexanchus agassizi, Heptranchias howelli, Araloselachus cuspidatus, Carcharias spp., Carcharoides catticus, Isurolamna gracilis, Otodus (Carcharocles) angustidens, Alopias cf. exigua, Carcharhinus sp., and Physogaleus latus.
