I saw this tooth for sale recently, labeled as Pterosaur from Solnhofen, the tooth seems way too thick to be pterosaur, any thoughts? I'm thinking it might be fish, but I have no idea.

Is it my imagination, or does the matrix look built up around the tooth?

labial side of a lamniform shark tooth with the lobes still buried in the rock?

I have this really similar one from Painten.

 

According to dr. Oliver Rauhut it's most likely croc, possibly a Geosaurine Metriorhynchid.
