Tooth or rock?

Hi all, I found a fabulous sharks tooth fossil about a month ago.  Today I found this on the beach in Bay Head and I’m having a hard time identifying if it’s a tooth or just a rock! Anyone want to enlighten me?

it looks like a fragment of enamel to me, possible a small fragment of a mammoth tooth.  Where  is bay head?

laggy vertebrate material of some sort. Partial tooth or dense bone phosphatized in a lag. Provenance always helps!

Looks like Bay Head Beach is in New Jersey.
