Help identifying shark tooth - Hammerhead?

Went fossil hunting in a creek near Gainsville, Florida and found a ton of teeth but this one stands out to me from the lemons and bull sharks that make up the majority of our finds. Noticed it has a notch at the top was wondering if it could be a hammerhead?

Sorry no, it's a Physogaleus contortus, a species of extinct hound shark
