Unknown Shark Tooth

I found this tooth at Brownie Beach or Bay front Park in Chesapeake Beach, MD. It is broken but I have never found a tooth like it. Maybe a juvenile cow?

I know nothing about shark teeth, but I think you have a tiger shark tooth. You can see the similarities here: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=tiger+shark+fossil&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiLgMKtmJbVAhUBjZQKHcVaD4sQ_AUIBigB&biw=1366&bih=694

 

Im probably wrong, but experts will come 

I'm not that experienced but I did a bit of research on this topic yesterday it is most likely a Galeocerdo or Tiger shark tooth I'll have to a bit more searching for a species of the genus with a identical tooth

Found it! You most likely found a Galeocerdo aduncus which lived in the Miocene epoch.
