I've had this shark tooth for a long time now. But never gave it much attention.

As I don't know myself what it is and since it's pretty small. Could anyone help me indentifying it?

Hello. Your tooth comes from one of the later megatooth sharks. Possibly megalodon.

Megalodon, they can get smaller than that but thats a meg.

often location and formation can be the only way to tell for sure. Chubutensis had small cusps but that area is not present on this tooth and sometimes small megs had these too so that isn't even definitive for species.
