    Hi Pete, I think you are correct. The tooth appears to be from the marine crocodile, Thecachampsa. The fossils at Holden Beach come from multiple stratigraphic layers, so it is difficult to narrow down the age of your tooth and the specific identity.

    You may also want to compare your tooth with mosasaur teeth, which can also be found at Holden. Based on the image you uploaded, I’m still leaning towards crocodile, but mosasaur would be worth looking into as another possibility.
