I found this oddity while walking along Bandera Beach in Costa Rica. The beach is visited by sea turtle, crocodiles, sting rays, humpback whales and other fishes and sharks. The beach is on the Pacific Ocean relatively close to the equator. It is shaped like a shark tooth but I doubt that it is due to the porous nature and large size. The shape doesn’t remind me of coral, but it could be. It seems to me like a bone. There is a small protuberance that soft tissue could attach to. I was thinking turtle or crocodile but I reviewed images of their skeletons and didn’t see a match. Any ideas?

Trying to do some organizing and labeling of these teeth that I have collected over the past 10 years. But first.... I'm hoping for confirmation of my opinions on some and help with a few that I'm not sure about. Most of these are from the Suwannee River but a few of the Makos are from Venice FL about a mile offshore in 17-23 feet of water. Thank you! Pretty confident of Mako for the group of six. Pretty confident of Auriculatus for the single (heartbreaker) (a very rare find for me from the Suwannee - by far the largest and brightest color shark tooth I've found there) Not sure about the two that resemble sand tiger or (mackerel?) I don't think they are sand tiger. Not sure about the two that have small cusp lets. I don't think they are Auriculatus
