Hello! This is my first time posting on this forum. I am hoping that someone can help me identify what I have found on the beach of NC. It is < 1in and hollow in the bulbous part (unsure if long part is hollow). It doesn’t look like a typical shark tooth and it doesn’t look like a typical shell found in Wilmington. I have Google image searched images from all different angles and the closest comparison I’ve received is a dinosaur tooth…. But that doesn’t seem plausible.

I found this tooth when I was looking for Shark Teeth on an island outside of Wilmington on the Intracoastal. This is the first white tooth I've found in that area so I'm guessing its not as old as the shark teeth I find there. From research, I think it may be an alligator or a fish tooth? Would love some insight. Thanks!

I have no experience with fossils but have an interest in them. Shark teeth seem like an easy place to start. Are there any small ditches or creeks to search in Wilmington NC? I am visiting here and won't be long so anywhere close by would be great.

Found a gastropod steinkern last week from sequence 3 of the Castle Hayne Formation with some unusual inclusions and mineral growth. The steinkern has a highly polished surface but has been partially coated with minerals. The coating is presumable calcitic but also has some marcasite? crystals adhering. A natural window into the shells sediment content shows small spiral fossils and a neat dendrite. Gastropod is 2.25 inches longest measure. Pics were taken with DinoXcope.
