A couple of Florida Teeth to ID

The two larger teeth were assumed to be megs when I found them Saturday in a housing development outside of Bradenton, Florida. When I arrived back home and looked closer, I began questioning if they could be Great White.

The third tooth confuses me. I have not seen this thin enamel in the shark teeth I find. Is it fish (Barracuda?)

 instead?

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

It looks like Carcharodon to me. Is that sediment in the last tooth? It resembles a simple enamel shell which can happen during development of the tooth. The root never forms leaving these husks.

Does your broken tooth have serrations?  Jack

Jack, I knew you would be out hunting. My son and I had an agreement that we would not have human contact before and during our visit. So stuck with land sites this trip. We will be back in late Feb though. 

Anyways, yes there are tiny serrations present which made me think shark initially.
