Myrtle Beach find - mammal tooth of some kind?

Found washed up on Myrtle Beach, Jan 18, 2022.

The tip of this looks to have enamel on it. Back is broken off, so might have been more rounded in the back; hard to tell.

 

Thank you!

I'm not an exert on these things but that looks like a whale tooth of some sort. I could defiantly be wrong however, as I'm not experienced with tooth fossils from this area.

It looks like part of a sawfish rostral tooth. Most likely Cretaceous Ischyrhiza mira.

Sure looks like it to me, from other photos. Thanks Al!
