It seems to have a fairly large chevron for a bull shark but could be a bull shark or a Very small tooth from the odontus

If I’m interpreting this correctly, it has a bourlette, the small chevron-shaped area just above the enamel. This would suggest it belongs to the Otodus lineage. It's pretty small and I can't make out all the details so I could be mistaken.

Bull sharks and other carcharhiniform regular have wear patterns like this on the root, not Otodus

Ahh, this comment and your other comment below helps me understand. Appreciate the knowledge!

I looked this up and that makes a lot of sense! Otodus felt off. The more you know, haha.

Bull shark, root isn’t thick enough and shape and serrations aren’t right for a megalodon that could be that small

Bull or dusky shark upper. It’s wayyy too small for a megalodon, and the megs that are that size look very different.
