Here’s it right side up. I’m confident it’s from either Isurus or Carcharodon, and just from enamel shape it’s most like Carcharodon hastalis. It’s very worn though so it would be hard to give that ID a high degree of certainty.

Hi Szkarupnia it looks like a lower Parotodus benedeni tooth to me, nice tooth anyway. George

With that prominent lingual torus, I see Parotodus as a possibility as well.

I forget you find those more frequently over there. There goes my confidence:D
