The item was attempting to show you was 2 bone valley teeth with same pathology. Split tooth makes sense.

It is fairly common pathology. It appears that megalodon quite possibly was a giant sand tiger and these may represent throwback parasymphyseal teeth. See: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1462470023889378&set=pcb.2189215284477720&type=3&theater&ifg=1

Unfortunately, the facebook link won’t open for me. But either way, Gordon Hubbell has a small exhibit on Megalodon pathologies, one of which is referred to as a split tooth. He describes it as two teeth forming where only one tooth should form, and the asymmetry of your tooth looks very similar to the example he shows. I haven’t seen any indication of parasymphyseal teeth in any of the associated dentitions I’ve looked at so far, but I certainly don’t know for sure.
