Wife's friend showed this to me and wanted to know what it came from. Is it just a regular shark or a meg tooth?

Sorry, but who is Meg? Wouldn't want to meet her in the woods!

I really ain't teasing, what is a Meg?

Meg is a Carcharodon Megalodon. The ancient cousin to the great white shark.

That tooth looks more like a fossil great white shark tooth.

That's without a doubt a meg.

The great whites don't have a bourlette.

Alabama kicked her out. She had to change her name and move to Fla panhandle back country once she lost her only tooth. Goes by Flossy now, I believe.
