Hi!!! I found these today on the beach I could use some help identifying. Please let me know your thoughts. There are three sets of teeth and I took pictures of both sides.

They are all quite worn, so it will be hard to make confident IDs.

 

The second tooth appears to have a bourlet, suggesting it is from a megatooth shark in the genus Otodus. Could be a megalodon or angustidens perhaps.

 

Third might be a snaggletooth shark.

First 2 pieces appear to be Meg frags (Or Angustidens - I know SC gets both)

 

Agreed with @debivort that the third is a worn snaggletooth.

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:
