Does anyone know what this is because I have looked around and have know idea what it is. I mean it might be a rock. I cant remember where I found it apart from that it was in England. Any help would be appreciated identifying this. If you need any more photos just say.

Thank you.

Looks similar to the ivory that's been popping on the forum a lot recently but I have very limited knowledge of such

Looks like a tooth with a very worn crown.  Can you take a straight in photo of the fatter end.

Out of my area of expertise but someone else might help.  To aid in identification do you have any info to age or locality where it was found

@Troodon was correct. It's a horse incisor.

 

Cheers,

Sure .. it might be modern, I'm not familiar with your area for fossils. Fossil Pleistocene horse teeth are not uncommon here in states such as Florida. @Shellseeker

 

 

This example is a different tooth position btw.
