Hemipristis Help

I got this tooth a few years ago at a local fossil store, and I was wondering if anyone could give me guidance as to whether it is a H. serra or H. curvatus tooth. The serrations on the mesial side are extremely weak compared to those of some of my H. serra teeth, but they are still there.

I would say H. serra. With that said having location information would be a great help in this. H. curvatus is from the Eocene into the Oligocene. H. serra from the Miocene , Pliocene. H. serra also could be from the late Oligocene.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt
