Walton on the Naze UK: Shark tooth?

[FunkyMonkey]

Hi all,

can you please help me as I’m in two minds about this as it looks for all the world like a rose thorn but ‘feels’ the same as the sharks teeth we find here in the beach. We usually find sand shark in abundance but this doesn’t look like any of the teeth I have found before. What do you think? 
it would have been from the London Clay beds if it is a tooth. 
thank you!

PS the dimension on the tape measure shows it to be approx 1cm in length.

Appears to be a modern thorn from a plant, perhaps a rose.

Thanks @WhodamanHD this was my initial thought but I wanted a second opinion before throwing it in the bin. Just seemed a little too inflexible to be a pesky thorn  Leason learned

If I remember correctly, it was a similar topic, maybe a year ago, ore more... can't remember exactly... 

 

I would agree with the one who gived the first response.

Ah, I missed that in the original post. I’m an impatient reader at times

i always like a flame or needle test on something I think might be modern
