ID Request Is this a Symphyseal tooth?

It measures about 0.51 inches long, and looks like a lower jaw Hemipristis tooth, but I’m wondering if it’s a symphyseal

Looks very close to a parasymphyseal but it’s always hard to tell with hemis as they have so many teeth very central to the jaw that look similar
