We recently found what could be a gator or croc tooth but don’t quite know. Found that one at the coast of surf city in North Carolina. Could someone identify this for me? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TFF.  I am unsure but let me try a reply.  In Florida, I see a lot of Alligator teeth....I do not think this is Croc or Gator, but just an impression.

I do not like the overall shape and the core seems different .. @Al Dente

I agree that the shape is off, but the pics are also pretty dark, so it is hard to see any detail.  Here is a gator tooth from SC, which is a more consistent cone shape than the OP's.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

The oval shape of the base looks like mosasaur, but I’ve never heard of Cretaceous fossils being found around Surf City. Most of the fossils there are Oligocene.
