Ptychodus tooth? Or bit of shell? Galveston TX

Found this in the same spot I found a little shark vertebrae and a small bit of bone.  Pretty sure it is Pliestocene.  I thought it was a tooth of some sort, (Ptychodus?) but now I am not sure....it may just be a bit of shell. Any confirmation help will be very appreciated! Thanks!!

Ptychodus first appeared in the upper Cretaceous and went extinct about 85mya, so unless you were in the upper Cretaceous, you would not find Ptychodus. As for what you do have, I'm not sure.  I'd like to see more photos.  It is an interesting find.
