This one has me a bit stumped. It's pretty tiny. Sorry for forgetting the measuring device but its 3/8" or 9.53 mm. I've researched the heck out of it and have no hollow teeth from there let alone this small?  Thanks so much!!

Looks like some kind of shark tooth to me (triangular, flat backed, serrations). Somebody like @Al Dente, @Fossildude19, @will stevenson or @Jared C might have more insight to share on this one :)

I agree. Looks like just the enamel remains on this tooth. Everything else has been leached away.

Due to lack of serrations I would call it cretalomna but that is a guess
