Help with Paleocene tooth ID

Found this on a recent trip to purse state park, tried to look online for similar teeth or bone and no luck. I’ve seen something similar before on the forum but for the life of my can’t remember where or what it was. Thanks!

I think you may have a piece of turtle shell there:) it’s pretty worn but I don’t see any enamel 

  • I found this Informative 2

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

I agree  - not a tooth. 

Look up fossil turtle plastron or hypoplastron.
