Good evening, this was the smallest tooth I have found in a creek bed. This creek is in Travis county and mainly contains tributary terrace deposits

I'd say enchodus fish tooth.

It is an Enchodus gladiolus fish tooth.

Agreed with everyone else.

It seems to be too small to be a mosasaur tooth, and even if a mosasaur could be that small, the tooth resembles kinda a long hook, which is something I've never seen in a mosasaur before.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
