Can someone identify this tooth?

I found this while combing the Delaware bay beach in Fortescue, Nj and I'm unsure if it is a recent tooth dropping or a fossil. I'd also like to know what kind of shark if possible

It looks to me to be an Otodus obliquus shark tooth from Morocco from the Paleocene epoch. Someone likely bought it at a shop in the area and lost it on the beach.
