White River Formation Mammal Teeth

I picked up these white river formation teeth in bucket labelled rhino. I doubt that label. One is partial tooth and the other is a jaw section.

The top photos are of a upper tooth that belongs to the Oligocene Rhino "Subhyracodon" and the bottom pics are of a lower jaw of the horse "Mesohippus". If I am incorrect with these id's, someone will be along shortly and correct.

I also agree, but i will ask... How do you diferentiate between hyracodon and subhyracodon?

Even though he did not have a scale for the tooth, it did appear to be somewhat large- that's why I was thinking "Sub".
