Shasta daisies generally create a mound of greenery from which the flower stalks come up(and the flowers are bigger - again genreally). The oxeye has a single stalk with smaller and less profuse foliage. There is, howeevr, a much smaller daisy that forms a mat of foliage much like the shasta, but both leaves and flowers are much smaller

What are the main differences between the two?

They do look quite a bit alike.

Do you have shots of the leaves? There are many similar daisies, and while I'm not really doubting the ID, it would be more likely to be a wild daisy near trees and in grassy areas - just covering all bases here. It is always a good idea to get leaves and flowers

No problem!
