It's not Rhynchobatus. It might be Mustelus but usually Mustelus has some striations.

Thanks a lot! ustelus would be very interesting for me, but how do You think could it be a worn male Dasyatis tooth?

I think it looks more like Mustelus than Dasyatis. Here are some Mustelus teeth from a couple publications.
