These ones were found on a beach and are small. One just under one inch and one just over.

These are different than any I've found. Thanks for your help. Here are four photos.

My best guesses are manatee lower cheek tooth and a toothed whale tooth.

The whale tooth guess is less confident of the manatee guess. Here is an example for comparison:

Could the conical shaped tooth be alligator?Just looks simular to ones we find up in northflorida on the intercoastal.

The root of a 'gator tooth is a conical hollow that houses the crown of its replacement tooth.
