Shark Tooth ID, Holden Beach

Holden Beach, NC in the middle of Myrtle Beach, SC & Wilmington, NC if you went along the coast. 

 

Conflicted on this ID due to the possible serrations on tooth and cusps. Is that wear/damage or legitimate serrations? 

 

Additionally, I'm having a difficult time determining if Serratolamna or Cretalamna had serrations? Anyone else have an accurate ID with these photos?

I agree, Serratolamna serrata.

 

Does the tooth appear serrated to you? Should it? Is it just wear?

Looks like small chips on the cutting edge, probably from being tossed around by the waves or going through the dredge pipes.
