I found this tooth a while back in a Gainesville creek. Im fairly certain it's a tiger shark tooth but im curious if it could be a symphyseal tooth because of the weird shape or if it could have been swallowed by the shark because of its texture. Wondering if anyone knows any more details.

Yours makes a 90• break at the tip. Like Galeocerdo mayumbensis. The serrations are course and you have body on the sort side. I also don’t see compound serrations.  
 

Let’s get a second opinion though.
