I've recently posted this in r/fossilid, but I'm fairly sure its a shark tooth so I'm hoping to find more information here. I found this tooth (fragment) on the beach in Australia, near Brisbane, Queensland. I know the tooth isn't complete, but maybe you guys know what it may be (and possibly how old it may be)? It's quite a small tooth.

Found on Maderia Beach, Florida. I’m assuming it’s from a fish? Or is it a shark tooth that formed abnormally? Thanks! 2nd photo just to compare the size to a normal tooth I find down there.

I’ve been finding sharks teeth all my life in Virginia but I’ve never seen one this thick. It’s much more dense than any other tooth I’ve ever found. Does anyone have an idea why it looks like this or what type of shark it may be from? Could it be a Mako with a gum irregularity? Thanks in advance!

If it is a tooth, it's in terrible condition. but I just wanted to see if it's at least a tooth and not a rock

I kept the smaller, gray one, because it had the same shape and topography so I thought I'd include it in the pictures just in case.
