So, after your last post, I have done some research on Miocene and Eocene shark teeth from Ukraine and nearby countries. I have found some literature that might be of use to you for future finds, which is cited below:

The tooth above appears to have been broken, so I am not sure whether an exact ID can be found for it. But, in Leder, R. M.(2013), he mentions the genus Iago, which shares similar characteristics to your tooth. 

 

To see if I can find the formation this is from, what is the exact latitude and longitude? 

 

Hope this helps! :)

The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing.
