mammalian teeth?

Finally back in Virginia for a few weeks, took advantage of the nice weather to visit my creek holes near the Rappahannock where I usually can find small teeth in abundance.

Took a picture of my 'treasures' from the trip out, but am really interested in IDs of the small single (porpoise? but tiny) and double root tooth with a enamel crown with three points (first I've found).

Thanks in advance, I'm sure many of you will know them immediately.

Your single crown tooth is from a Cetacean probably porpoise. Your multi cusp tooth, a guess, since I'm not an expert is from a seal. Nice finds. Your other multi cusp teeth are from cow sharks, and the big one Snaggletooth shark, Hemipristis

Thanks all! I didn't even think of seals, but it looks a lot like the ones on-line. I'm sore today, but it was fun hunting for teeth once again.
