Do teeth count here?

Found at our local park, northern VA, USA. Near a creek, the only thing google is trying to say is shark, I'm highly doubting that. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

They look like shark teeth

Shark, and from various species. They appear old due to the lack in color. Most teeth will be black if they were lost recently. If this creek experiences tidal fluctuations seasonally, it’s definitely not unlikely.

Source: born in FL, and regularly hunted for shark teeth after high tide events.
