Abstract
The isolated teeth of some new neoselachian chondrichthyans are described from the Lower Woburn Sands at Clophill (Bedfordshire, UK) and the Redhill Sands at Nutfield (Surrey, UK); the deposits at the two localities are roughly coeval and belong to the Lower Greensand Group (Aptian to possibly Early Albian, Early Cretaceous). Teeth of Antrigoulia guinoti sp. nov. are only the second record of the genus, otherwise known by A. circumplicata from the Valanginian of southern France. The teeth of Synechodus sp. are left in open nomenclature because of the poor preservation of the specimens but may well represent a new species. Pseudorhina magnapraecinctorium sp. nov. and P. carinata sp. nov. are both recorded from Clophill only, whilst P. clopellensis sp. nov. and Pseudorhina sp. are recorded from both assemblages.
