Hey guys, I found this on the beach in Baltimore, Ireland today. Can someone please help me identify my beach find? Thanks

Could you take some close-up pics, from the different color zones? Need to see the texture. Right now it appears geologic and not a fossil. Close-ups can help to determine for sure.

Call it a hunch. Ammonite ? Small section of a large shell. The indications of sutures being somewhat visible, if confused ?

Thanks for the replies guys, I have thought about it being geological too, but the symmetry made me think of it as being fossil. The lighter coloured outside is very brittle and shiny in appearance, which reminded me of a mammoths tooth I fished up years ago near the rhine estuary, but perhaps I'm wrong.

My first thought was that the lighter color area,  resembles mica schist. You say that this portion is shiny, which is also a characteristic of mica schist. Even with the new pictures it is hard to tell for sure but that is what I am leaning towards.
