Mammal Bone/ Peccary Canine?

[TimG.]

Hi everyone! I recently went to the Matoaka Cottages in southern MD where I found a mysterious looking object, the Choptank formation is exposed here and from what I can tell it is bone of some sort, as it still seems to have bone marrow inside of it. My second guess of the object was some sort of tooth, I had my bets on a peccary canine but my main guess is still bone. If someone could help me identify this it would be a huge help!

Better pictures can help.

I can't see any kind of tooth in the Picture... maybe a fragment of a fossilized bone.

Looks like bone, not tooth, to me.

Here is the stuff on the inside I was talking about, I'm pretty sure it isn’t sand because it has a layered structure to it and it is very solidified within the fragment

 

It also seems to have a flat side and an edged side.

Its a fragment of bone, not a tooth.

Tim,  Welcome to TFF.  It is a fantastic resource for fossil hunters.  You have access to ALL posts/threads since inception, like this one that provides some great photos.
