I found this at Brownwich Cliff which has river gravels from the Pleistocene. I found this nearly 2 weeks ago and the shape is really bothering me. I believe it’s probably rock, but part of me feels it’s a broken pierce of a straight risked elephant tooth. As lots of the rock I saw and collected from the sight wasn’t anywhere near to the same colour as this. There’s a big mix of colours and it’s just one of those pieces that you’ve collected that points towards it being the odd one out. I’m not sure?
Any help would be appreciated 👍👌
To me it looks like a metomorphic rock, with layers bent by pressure
That’s odd because it wouldn’t have been deposited deep enough to have that amount of pressure
If you found it at a cliff, then it could’ve been eroded out of an older layer
To be fair it does have an Eocene deposit that only yields shells
