Shark tooth

[Kolya]

Hello!
Help with ID, please.
Toot is worn but has interesting (big) root.
Ukraine, Lviv region.
Thanks in advance!

I'm a complete amateur but since nobody has posted. It looks like it is a deceiving tooth. It seems to be cleaved through the center of the root and down through the blade, leaving only a damaged half of a tooth (or less). Maybe a flat view would help identify the shape better. Like the bottom left picture if you rotated the clay backward 90 degrees so you are looking down on what might be the face of the tooth. Just an idea though. It will take someone with much much more experience than me to tell you what it is. Sorry.

Well, a shark tooth with a robust root and a cusp. What is the size of your fragment and any location info on where it was found? One possibility is Carcharias .sp.

Wow!  That "toot" is a "hooth".   Seriously, very interesting tooth.

It is just half a tooth, so you would have to picture the other half looking the same.

It is not even half the tooth. It is the broken corner from one side. Most likely a sand tiger, Carcharias sp. if it is from an Oligocene, Miocene or Pliocene location.
