A Variety of Fossils for ID Help - From Florida Beaches

I think the one of the left is part of an antler. Top right I think is a vertebrae but I don't have any idea what kind. And the two little ones, I think are some kind of tooth, but am not sure.

Two photos show part of my hand to give you an idea of the size of the items.

Thanks for any info to help ID these.

It is important in identifying mammal teeth to show the occlusal or grinding surface of the teeth.

I think you have a basal part of a deer antler and a Tilly bone (the donut-like thing).

Maybe you have a xenarthran canine and an equid horse molar . . . need better images of those teeth.

I added photos of the two grinding ends of the possible teeth.

I think these last two teeth are from a capybara, Hydrochaerus holmesi. On the left is an incisor; on the right, is a beach-polished section of an upper molar (M3).

The incisor should have fine striations in the enamel on the front (outside of the curve) of the tooth.

That is a new one for me. Thanks.
