Strange shark tooth root

Picked this up in Post Oak creek, Cretaceous. Not sure what I'm looking at, don't recognize usual root, is that a chunk of gum attached to tooth? Looks like it was part of larger piece that broke off and left the impression beside it .

Is it possible to take pictures of just the tooth? Less of the rock. And more in focus. Trying to enlarge these the tooth gets very blurry. Also, how big is it? There is no size given, this leaves a lot open to interpretation. Can you give us a measurement in millimeters? If it is just a couple of mm then, yes it could very well be a broken cusp from a larger tooth. But if it is 1/4 inch or larger this makes it much less likely for a Texas Cretaceous tooth.

Sorry for spacing out the picture with ruler!  Here's couple more hopefully clearer.
