Finally got a chance to hit the Peace River after months of anxious waiting. I was able to identify most of my finds on the river or doing research, but this one tooth is giving me fits. If someone could help me out I'd be hugely grateful.

The black (root) side is roughly the size of a dime.

Found these two molars off of S Brohard today. Both have roots, although the one on the left has a longer root structure than the one on the right. Any ideas? I thought the one on the left might be tapir... it has two large roots. The one on the right has 4 smaller roots. Both have clean tops that look exactly like molars.
 
Is this a sperm whale tooth?
I'm very new at this....smooth on one side, very porus on the other. Found on Venice in the water.
