Old Shark tooth?

Good afternoon all,

 

I love looking for sharks teeth, found this guy today.  First, I think it is a tooth but might not be.  If it is, it’s the largest one I have ever found by far.  Found on beach in North Carolina.  Any thought on this?

 

thanks a ton!

Tooth is to worn and broken to be positively ID'd. I will say it is one of the mega shark species. The beach it was found on could help determine the age of the tooth and then possibly determine a species.

I would say megalodon.

North Carolina coast is a hotspot for meg teeth.
