I Don`t know, Why?, I would think it was from the material the tooth was found in, the material may have a lot of titanium oxides in around the area the tooth was found, though only if the tooth was from the sands of the beaches of Florida.
Very interesting to hear this about a fossil.
The state fossil of Georgia is the shark tooth. This fossil represents the state's rich history and connection to the ocean. Georgia designated the shark tooth as its state fossil in 1976.
It depends on how old the tooth is,but other than that,unless it's a rare shark,it wouldn't make a very good index fossil.

The Megalodon shark which is Greek for "big tooth" .
Shark teeth are the only part of a shark that turns into a fossil. Sharks do not have a bony skeleton, but one made of cartilage. You can find shark teeth either by walking along the beach and looking for them, or by diving to the bottom of the sea. It is easiest to find them on the beach! Look for the triangular shape, then see if it is a very glossy black color. Fossil seashells are also black, and pieces of them come in all shapes, but they do not shine as much as a shark tooth. The tooth will also usually have a rougher patch at one end, which is where it joined the shark's gums.
