Teeth & Vertebrae ID

[Guest 1551]

Hey guys, my fiancé and I found these in Orange County, FL in a creek which produces tons of sea creature fossils and no land dwelling fossils. Any idea on what kind of sea creatures these teeth and vertebrae belonged to? I thought the white tooth as an alligator at first, but later realized it definitely isn’t and that both the white and black ones resemble fish/marine mammal material instead. Also for you viewing pleasure are the bigger shark teeth/fragments we’ve found.

Small round fossils are shark vertebrae , broken looking teeth are Gator , " Two-tone " teeth are from Porpoise/Dolphin , large vertebrae at bottom is most likely from a whale.

Thanks dude! Wonderful IDs. I thought gator teeth were completely round. This tooth has a ridge down either side.

It's surrated,Trex teeth are also surrated though you wouldn't know it unless you were looking closely.

Gators have a seam-like ridge down each side. Well done!!!

Although you are correct about T-rex, there were no T-rex's in Florida so this tooth cannot be a dinosaur.
