Can you do some more photos?
But, to me it looks like a tooth covered in hardened sediment. Try cleaning the grey stuff off
Looks like hardened clay
Get like a very small chisel and pick out the sediment it’s surrounded by. Use hot water to try and soften (the sediment might even fall off then) and then start trying to take it off. Don’t rush it and be extremely careful as it’ll be very delicate
Might even be bone
And if it is bone, keep it as it is
it does appear to be a toorh. but l strongly recommend you don’t clear away the brown part, since it might be part of the tooth root itself instead of sediment.
from what l can tell, the entire brown section would have been covered by the black enamel originally.
I wouldn’t touch it, I wouldn’t want to risk ruining it
Yeah, to me it looks either like a shark tooth buried with a broken root or a reptile tooth
Nope it’s potentially a marine reptile or dinosaur tooth
As where you find it overlaps with a Cretaceous deposit as I did some research over the area for you
@jack-parker-tyreman thank you
Your welcome
Cretaceous fish (the brown area is where the enamel has worn off, don’t pick at it). Enchodus either E. ferox which would have very fine serrations on the thin edge (which may have worn off) or Enchodus gladiolus.
@bill-heim thank you very much
