Welton & Farish (1993: 112) included a lateral tooth identified as S. serrata which looks very much like those of Lamna biauriculata maroccana ARAMBOURG 1935 and is unlike other teeth of Serratolamna. This is possibly an ontogenetic variation; however this design is symmetrical with a significantly broader, shorter and erect cusp. (ref. Cretalamna maroccana illustration).
Uncommon in Nanjemoy (Eocene) exposures are the large teeth of Serratolamna gafsana. These have been often incorrectly identified in the past (including on this page) due to their identification as aschersoni in Case (1994). David Ward (pers. com. 1998), when confirming Steve Cunningham's (pers. com. 1998) suggestion that these might represent S. gafsana, noted that the illustrations in Arambourg (1952) clearly show that the teeth of aschersoni have a shallow root and "bizarre" lateral cusplets. David went on to note that juvenile S. gafsana teeth are Carcharias-like with multiple lateral cusps, fine striations on the labial face.
Relatively Common in the Castle Hayne (Lutetian & Bartonian) sediments of North Carolina are the teeth of S. koerti; these teeth appear equally abundant in comparable horizons of other southeastern states extending into Texas. Although present in the Chesapeake Bay area, they are scarce.
