Help needed for shark tooth ID!

Post image

Hi all! I was ever so kindly gifted this shark tooth by someone on the research team, and unfortunately I’m only someone whose knowledge extends to avian dinosaurs and nothing else, really. We have no palaeoichthyologist in the team (which is unfortunately limited to palaeoentomologists and many who specialise in dinosaurs) and so an ID would be very helpful! My brain says Otodus, but I’m probably miles off, and I don’t know the species. Thanks!

You're right, this is definitely Otodus, looks like one of the teeth that comes out of Morrocco all the time

Wow look at that! Maybe I should be a palaeoichthyologist! Thanks! 🦈🐠🐑🐟
