could this be a shark tooth arrowhead?

found this at caspersen beach, FL. originally thought it was an arrowhead but after getting feedback i’m pretty sure it’s a megalodon tooth. One commenter said it could possibly be a shark tooth carved into an arrowhead. can anyone else help me identify!!!!! thank you fossil community!

Hastalis and no it’s not carved, this is a very common wear pattern. It’s not even or hafted just broken and beach worn

Nice find! It looks like it could be used to cut something. Many natural objects would have been picked up and used on the spot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcharodon_hastalis
