Found this tiny tooth in a Gainesville creek. Looks like it has a cusp on one side. Could it possibly be a juvenile Great White tooth? I looked on elasmo but I don't see anything that quite fits the profile of it. It's about 12mm in length.

Looks like Carcharhinus. The cusp looks like chips on either side that make it look like a cusp.

I do not have teeth like this in SW Florida... much thinner than the ones I find.

I agree with Al dente,  More likely Bull/Dusky than GW. but I have no finds this thin...

The thinness is what was throwing me off, as well.
