Something in the ocean is eating great white sharks

Snip ...
Researchers were tagging great whites to study their movements. In the process, they tagged a nine-foot female, who left the area safely. Four months later, her tag was found on a beach near where she was first caught -- and the data tells a very interesting story.
"It showed this profile going down the shelf to 580 meters, then a huge temperature change ... another living animal," said a Smithsonian researcher.
Yes, it appears that the nine-foot great white was eaten. The big question? What ate her? Whatever it was, it had to be big enough to swallow almost 10 feet of apex predator, and quick enough to drag it almost 2,000 feet in a few seconds.
So, what is it? A giant squid? Godzilla? A Megalodon? Well, actually, that last one is not too far off from the real theory....

Killer whales eat Great Whites.
One pod that they know of does so on a regular basis.

I still dont see it.Unfortunately, I haven't any other pics of that shark tooth. But in case you are seriously interested in marine fossils from that period of
earth history, they were probably gathered by early humans such as these depicted below and subsequently traded among the different
tribes.

“The killer whale’s teeth are designed to grasp and puncture rather than slice and tear like a shark. If the killer whale can’t swallow its prey whole, it probably can’t eat it unless it spins like a crocodile to tear off bite sized chunks.”
Killer whales commonly kill and eat other whales and do not swallow them whole. They also are known to eat sharks including great whites.

The Killer Whale tears the Great White apart and eats it’s liver like a dog with a rabbit.
