Maryland Paleocene sand tiger tooth

I found the tooth below a couple of months ago at a Maryland Paleocene (Aquia Formation) site. Am I correct that it's Hypotodus verticalis? Thanks in advance for your help!

 

The tooth measures just under 28 mm on the slant.

@MarcoSr, I thought I might tag you on this one as well. Thanks in advance for any help!

 

Worn root makes the ID difficult.  I think it could be Jaekelotodus robustus.
