Small Carnivore? (pleistocene)

From Late pleistocene fissure material, these have puzzled me for a while, but i havent payed much attention to them until i started analysing calcanium and astralgea from the same material and realized that there was possibly another carivore present within the fauna (besides skunk/ shrew(insectivore)) So i was wondering if these teeth were from the mystery carivore? i really have no idea. what do you think>?

I don't know what your teeth are, Chris. Maybe they are mole teeth, as Brock suggests. Here is an illustration that may help.

Ahhh mole! thanks for the identifications guys! Brock your collection ID's are really helpful, thanks for sharing there are a few things such as the mouse teeth which i wasnt sure on which was which, i havent done too much research on them but that definantly makes it easy! thanks!

The links were good too, and Harry, definantly confirms Mole!
