Pretty sure the larger tooth is an Otodus since it has a bourlette. Hawthorne Formation was Otodus angustidens right? Don't quote me on that though.

my search info. Notorynchus cepedianus tooth identification 
5 five cusp, showing masial side.

I assume that these have been glued to a piece of matrix not necessarily from the location of the teeth?
