Need assistance identifying shark fossil. Suspect it is Mako or Mackerel, due to curvature along lingual/labial axis. Unfortunately, the root is badly eroded. Found along Amelia Island (NE Florida).

Thank you, -Steve

The lingual protrusion on the root would suggest sand tiger carcharias sp.  (Likely Taurus in this case but impossible to tell)
