Fossilized teeth ID help


Loxodonta45

Recommended Posts

Hi All! Hoping to get some help identifying these fossilized teeth found at the Ladonia Fossil Park. At first I thought they may be from a Protosphyraena, but now I’m wondering if they may be too small for that to make sense. Any thoughts? 
 

also adding a photo of a shark tooth I found- just for fun!

I believe the teeth are likely from the bony fish Enchodus sometimes colloquially referred to as the "saber toothed herring" (although note closely related), while the shark tooth is Squalicorax.

The second tooth looks like “squalicorax kaupi”
