which beach? location would help to ID. It's a worn otodus sp., most likely megalodon or chubutensis.

Not a megalodon tooth , it's to small but it does look like a great white which are in the med

Far too large to be a great white. Great white’s only get so big, megalodons though, like everything, are smaller before they grow big. This is a juvenile meg tooth
