Herbivorous dinosaurs had different shapes of teeth, not like this one and there was a severe lack of them during the eocene.

I've seen many porgy incisors while picking through micro-matrix from Florida. They are only a few millimeters wide and virtually always seem to come with a substantial portion of the root. The occlusal surface is usually a fairly sharp edge. I'm not saying it is not from this species, I'm only saying that it doesn't look like the porgy incisors that I've found from Florida.

 

 

Cheers.

Have a look on n° 2 : labridae, perhaps Trigonodon if they exist in Eocene http://dominique.millet2.free.fr/poiss13.html
