Was found in the Netherlands in 1995. Not sure exact location. Would like to know what it is and if it has a value of any kind??

HI Everyone, On a recent Missouri River gravel bar hunt in Missouri where we usually find fossil Bison and horse teeth, we found this molar. I tried the needle test and it has no smell at all. I may be asking the impossible but didn't know if there was any kind of diagnostic by sight that would help determine if this molar is in fact ancient or modern. Thanks in advance for your time!

Molar tooth found in Big Brook, NJ. The inner dimension of the gem case is 2.85 Centimeters or 1 1/8 Inches.

Hello! I am new to this and unfortunately fairly uneducated on the subject. This was found near Nashville, TN and I have no idea what it is. I have been trying to find photos of similar looking fossils or objects and have not seen anything like it. I'm much more familiar with coastal fossils and this doesn't appear to be the average early sea creature fossil (my terminology is deplorable). To my uneducated eye, it most closely resembles a tooth (perhaps a molar as I put in the title). It could just as easily be something entirely different. Again, please forgive my ignorance. Underneath the dirt it appears to be a milky-white/gray color. Across the top as pictured below, the object is approx. 3.3cm On each projection coming down from the top, there are ridges that form into a ring almost resembling a fingerprint. This side, the longest point of the object, is approx. 3cm. Thank you so much for your help! I love a good mystery and a good round of discussion!

Help to id please. It was collected into alluvial sediments. There is eroding cliff with Lower Campanian bed near.
