Thats part of an ammonite. You can see the complex sutures distinctive of ammonites on the side views.
are you positive? to me the 3rd image distinctively looks like teeth to me. the whitish abalone looking stuff is on all sides as well. it measures about 12cm by 9cm
excuse me dimensions are roughly 15cm by 11cm
it is probably neither but out if the two ammonite is the most likely. to me it looks like shells giant oysters in a interestingly eroded rock.
Its an incomplete specimen in rough shape but I’m pretty certain. The “teeth” are the peaks and valleys (called lobes and saddles) of the suture line coming out at you. The whitish stuff is part of the shell that has been weathered away exposing the chambers within.

Definitely part of an ammonite
