It's shaped like a claw but it looks like polished rock.  The only thing that makes me think twice about it just being a rock ground down and polished is the last photo.  I wish it was clearer, but there appears to be symmetries that I would not expect to see in a rock.  I'm not a fossil expert.

I'm not sure what this is. My best guess would be a pharyngeal tooth from a fish due to the curved tip.

Is it from freshwater or marine sediment?

Hello!
Sorry for an old theme, but can it be Archaeomanta?
There is a possibility that it is not from Middle Miocene, but from Eocene redeposits.
Thanks in advance!
