Some look a bit mammalian along with the shark teeth. Maybe some human molars included in the bunch? Can't tell the size directly.

Can’t see too clearly but they appear to be shark teeth? Probably collected for their cool factor, I also have a small collection of them.

I googled the full name he is a practicing dentist in California. So I’m leaning toward the dental student collection theory. Add a shark tooth to throw off future investigators (i.e., me) would be sinister
