Looks like weathered fossilized bone, but without distal ends, there is no way to tell from what.
horse tooth?
I did some more research, i think its a giant beaver incisor piece. @smudge-smith @bill-heim
Giant beaver incisors are heavily ridged and curved. I don’t see that here at least not from your picture. See: https://www.google.com/search?q=giant+beaver+incisor&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiSmcvyr_PrAhUcoHIEHXMqCloQ_AUoAXoECB4QAw&biw=1920&bih=938
@billheim i found out what it is. Mine doesnt have those ridges, but the lower incisor doesn’t have those promonent ridges and those of mine were found on the maasvlakte were they have been in the water for thousends of yours so they were heavely damaged by the erosian. I believe it is an lower incisor to a giant or european bever. Thx
@bill-heim
Castoroides is the giant beaver from North America, Trogontherium is the giant beaver from Europe. It seems too large for the existing beaver family Castor (2 species European Castor fiber and North American Castor canadensis).
@bill-heim thx so much for helping me!
