Megalodon or white shark?

Hey Guys!

 

This one is probably a lot more obvious than I'm making it. My head says Megalodon due to the age of Bone Valley and the size, but my gut says white shark due to no Bourlette, the shape of the enamel where it meets the root on the distal and mesial side, and the serrations. So I decided to seek out an outside opinion.

This is from Bone Valley Florida.

 

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Looks like a Meg to me. I see a thin (white) bourlette that’s eroded and the serrations look too fine for a GW.

Huh, you know looking at the photo the Bourlette is actually somewhat visible. I could not see that with the naked eye. Okay I'm satisfied, it's a meg.

Really beat up, but I'm in the Meg camp.
