Not sure what shark(?) tooth this is, has very heavy root on a small (quarter inch squares) tooth

Tiny fish(?) tooth, tough to photograph well with my equipment. Tooth is about 3mm long, less than 1mm wide

The top tooth is Physogaleus contortus. The second is a piece of a shark tooth.

@Rockwood and @Al Dente thanks.  The 1st tooth was throwing me due to the thickness and flat back, but I wasnt really accounting for how much wear the tooth had.  The 2nd is so small I wasnt thinking shark, rather some other fish, but I think the 4th pic shows the serrated edge well on one side and the broken edge on the other

I remember finding a few in the reject files piles in front of the Aurora FOssil Museum and wondering what they were. I was told P. contortus sympheseal teeth

Another shot highlighting the serrated edge might help in that case. I don't see it now.
