North FL beach finds - shark and alligator tooth question


Chippewa

Recommended Posts

Hello I've been "fossil dormant" for quite a while, but was on the beach yesterday and found these (the recent storms have churned/coughed up some new layers I think) 

the start tooth may be hard to ID without any of the bourlette, but I can tell you that it has absolutely no serrations - perfectly smooth cutting edges.  Mako?  As for the small conical tooth, I think it is alligator, but I'm not sure if alligator teeth have distinct sharp crease from tip to base on opposite sides like this tooth does.

Thanks for any advice
