Small shark teeth from SC

Recommended Posts

Just acquired a small shark tooth, but not sure about the species. Need some help with identifying this one.

It is serrated but not so obvious.

 

I think it might be hammerhead, lemon shark, or carcharhinus sp?

I don't see the characteristic notch on the distal side of the blade, so I don't believe it is a hammerhead.  Looks like a posterior Carcharhinus sp.
