Florida Shark Teeth

Hi everyone,

 

I have here 3 teeth from a river in Florida which I'm having some trouble identifying. I do believe that the top two may be bull, but ultimately am not sure. Those are 1/2" each; the bottom partial is 1"

The bottom partial looks like a half-megalodon (fragolodon). Shark teeth are easy for a lot of folks, but my brain is full of cobwebs and they still get me confused from time to time. Here is a chart I often consult for the smaller teeth (a lot of which look similar to me).

You only have 2 choices for bottom tooth -- Meg or Great White... I lean toward Meg,

Tooth upper right looks like Mako,

The 3rd tooth might be Bull, Dusky or Hemi...

Upper left may be unidentifiable, as is likely a busted carcharhiniforme. They are hard to tell apart even when complete sometimes. The upper right tooth looks to have a strong labial notch, so may be a hammerhead? I lean towards the meg family on the last one as well.
