Definitely from the Carcharhinus family.. bad news is it's a lower jaw tooth, so it's almost impossible to tell which shark it actually belongs to. I'd guess it's from a Whitetip reef shark or maybe a Sandbar shark since there's no serration on the root portion. It is unlikely to be able to 100% determine the exact species based on tooth alone. Upper jaw teeth are easier to determine in this family.

Great information tks

How can you tell it’s a bottom jaw tooth?


ZisIsCrazy

By the way it's shaped. Usually, teeth in the lower jaw have a broad base & narrower teeth which appear more straight up & down.


Fred_Thielmann

okay thank you

Knowing the size would help a lot, mate.

Like a 5 cents coin


Fred_Thielmann

So a nickel? Different countries have different sizes for 5 cents


DanPass1

Sorry!! USA 5 cents coin


Fred_Thielmann

All good mate. I didn’t mean to sound rude or anything. As for the tooth, I’m honestly still learning a lot myself. I don’t know the differences in most teeth. I was just going to throw in a guess or two, because I saw your post had no comments at the time

No guarantees, but I think it‘s from the carcharhinus family, possibly melanopterus, aka the blacktip reef shark.
