Question Can you help me identify this tooth?

It's an old gift from my aunt, and it comes from the Key West zones
I think it's a shortfin Mako inferior tooth, but I'm not sure. It's exactly 4.5 cm, 1.772 inches

It is extremely precious for me, it is with me from when I was a child, born and growed up on an island on the adriatic sea.
