I looked it up and they do look alike. thanks. The tooth on the left has an “s” type curve in it an the one on the right is more “c” shaped (the crown). Does that make a difference in the genus?

+1 on the first tooth.

 

The blade on the second one is flatter & wider, and the cusps shorter/stouter. Not sure about this one.
