These came from a Cretaceous site in Mississippi. One looks like it could be Scapanorhynchus and the other looks like Cretoxyrhina, am I correct?

Both are Scapanorhynchus. Note the lingual "nutrient groove" on the left with faint basal striating, and the right has a prominent cusplet with a worn nutrient groove.
