Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

Location found is usually helpful information to add. County level would be helpful.

I see your tags say South Carolina...  We have a few experts on east coast sharks.

Nice find! There seems to be a remnant of cusplets on the root. Maybe an angustiden?

I think I see a bourlette, but the photos aren't great.  Could be a worn angustidens but I'm not comfortable saying that without better photos. Shape looks more like an Isurus retroflexus to me, which can have little cusplets.

I am not seeing anything that remotely resembles serrations. Why is this not a Mako ?

I mentioned Isurus.  The only thing tripping me up was whether or not I was seeing a bourlette in the first pictures.  Looking at the new pictures, I think it's just peel.

 

Here's one I found that has similarities:

A very nice tooth.

 

I concur with @automech on the cusp lets.  I also think I see incipient serrations or crenelations . I've cropped and zoomed one of the OP's photos.
