Mississippian Shark Tooth ID

[fossilsonwheels]

I came across this nice little Mississippian shark or shark-like fish tooth. The information provided by the seller is Orodus sp. St. Louis limestone Formation. Cloverdale Quarry, Cloverdale, Indiana. my question to the Paleozoic shark experts on the forum would be is this an Orodus tooth?

I am far from an expert but this looks a bit like a Caseodus to me. I know Orodus teeth have several forms but this did not look like one to me. Any information or help would be awesome !!

I would have said Caseodus as well.

I am glad I am not the only one to think that !

Beautiful tooth! Its definitely a Eugenodontid rather than Orodontid and Caseodus looks like a good match.
