A Giganotosaurus tooth (or rather a replica thereof).
Definitely carcharodontosaurine, but it doesn’t match any Mapusaurus or Tyrannotitan I’ve seen figured, and almost all isolated Carcharodontosaurus teeth lack the root. Google search for "Giganotosaurus tooth" yielded it as the first result.
From the table in Coria & Currie 2006 one can tell that it must be based one of the three more or less complete teeth associated with the holotype.

I knew that this one was super-easy, but I needed an easy thing to revive this thread. |

Ceratodromeus: A theropod pedal phalanx? PS: So which one do you think it is, whale or shark?

I could definitely see where theropod is getting his observation.
Theropod, is it a whale? The teeth seem very reminiscent of those of mecrophagous cetacean genera like livyatan melvillei

Nope, and it's just one tooth.

The brown home with the clamp appears to be a fossil whale finger, bus its hard to tell without seeing the other end.

Pretty good! Medium-sized for an extinct shark (but large for an extant shark), and pretty damn extinct.

to me, it's reminiscient of Serratolamna but i think that's too small

It might help if I say it isn't a lamniform, but from a much earlier radiation of sharks.
