This paper provides а taxonomic list of the fossil Mesozoic and Cenozoic shark and bony fish teeth from the collections of the National Museum of Natural History, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NMNHS). The material was collected mostly from Bulgaria, but specimens from Angola and France are also available. Elasmobranch taxa prevail in the collection (47 specimens), with the rest of the material consisting of actinopterygian teeth (8 specimens). The largest portion of specimens (35) is of Turonian age. Of particular systematic interest is a dental plate composed of seven associated teeth belonging to a yet undetermined member of the batoid family Myliobatidae, collected from the Lower Eocene of Bulgaria.
