Parotodus benedeni or Fat Mako from Cape Town?

[Afrikaner]

Haai to All.
I found this Tooth on the Beach in Milnerton
in Cape Town,maybe someone can tell me if it
is a Parotodus benedeni:-).
It is thicker and looks different to my other Makos.

Hi Werner,
It's a C. hastalis. The rooth design and overall blade design clearly tells.

Please check Elasmo (www.elasmo.com). Then go to slide shows, Great White evolution and then select "Cosmopolitodus". In the middle of the slide you will see the broad form Cosmopolitodus hastalis.
