Pachygaleus is neither a Cretaceous nor Neogene genus.  It's known from the Late Paleocene to Middle Eocene.  Also, Pachygaleus has an unusually thick crown for its size.  If you can provide a view from a profile view, we can tell right away.

 

In any case it doesn't look like a Cretaceous tooth.  It looks like it could be a Carcharhinus or Sphyrna tooth.  It's difficult to say with an incomplete tooth.  It would also help if you can provide where the tooth was found.
