Help identifying these flordia fossils

I found these fossils in the peace river last summer and was going through them again today, but I cannot figure out what species these fossils come from.

The teeth are Carcharhinus, maybe bull or dusky, but I don't usually try to tell them apart.  @hemipristis is the only one I know of that can distinguish between all of the Carcharhinus species.

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

Both teeth appear to be upper laterals from the bull shark, Carcharhinis leucas based on several indictors: roughly symmetrical overall shape, root shape, placement of the nutrient pore, shoulders and serrations
