Possible Parotodus benedeni tooth

Hi all,

 

A longer time ago I found a thick shark tooth from the Tertiary (about 3 cm long). From the Netherlands.

It looks like a Parotodus benedeni tooth (a very thick rooth and thick tooth overall).

It looks like the one on this site:  LINK

Perhaps other opinions?

It looks too narrow and there is too much of a curve to be Parotodus. I’m not convinced the tooth in the link is a Parotodus.

I agree with @Al Dente. Looks more like a lomgfin mako, Isurus retroflexus (aka I. glaucus)
