FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

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!
