Shark tooth identification

Wondering what type of sharks teeth these are and possibly how old.

Hi, welcome to the fossils forum!

The larger tooth is most likely from the giant extinct snaggletooth shark Hemipristis serra.

Not sure about the little one actually.

Could you tell us where these were found? Also can we see the other side of the smaller one? Those would help a lot.

Indeed, Hemipristis for the larger.  The other is a Carcharhinus species

They were found on Vanderbilt beach in north Naples FL. Here are some better pictures of both teeth

It might be one of these shark teeth... Bull Shark or Dusky Shark ... it's hard for me to tell the difference between the two...  You can look on the internet and see if you can tell the difference.

 

They come in size from a quarter inch to an inch and a quarter...  Very common in Florida...  Yours is very worn.

Thank you!

I agree with shellseeker. Smaller one looks like an upper Carcharhinus (the genus of bull, dusky, and about 58 zillion others) but worn.

Throwing my own hat in the ring here to say agreed on both ID's, Hemipristis Serra and Carcharhinus Sp.

OK about Hemipristis serra.
