Otodus tooth or something else?

I would say Otodus obliquus, just towards the posterior side. This link has a dentition, you can look at which positions it could be. It’s always hard to tell these from Cretalamna though.

As far as I know the tooth was found it florida. Is there otodus teeth there? I was thinking it could be Archaeolamna kopingensis

Florida? Looks more like a tooth from Khourigba, Morocco.

But usually morocco are pure white..this tooth has some color and subtle differences. IDK it could be but I am not convinced on anything yet.

I personally haven’t seen any teeth from Morocco as pure white. The ones I have are tan, beige, gray, and a mixture of those colors. I would agree that this one looks like it’s from Morocco.

I have a lot of small teeth from there, there is a range of colors. Here’s some.
