Squatina subserrata (MÜNSTER, 1846) is the angel shark species currently used for teeth from the Pungo River formation. Squatina teeth are extremely hard to seperate into species. Most fossil species are defined by geologic age and not by differences in the teeth. Modern species are often differentiated by color patterns, dorsal spines, barbels or other minor external variations. The teeth are similar in both jaws and vary only slightly with jaw position.

Illustrated are 2 anteriors and an incomplete lateral tooth.
