Shark tooth fossil??

I recently found this at a job site I was working at. I'm pretty sure it's not what it may look like. It certainly has alot of shark tooth qualities. Any help would be great....

Unfortunately, although it has the shape of a shark tooth, it looks like coincidental fracturing of rock. :( I'm not sure New Hampshire is known for shark teeth? That aside, be on the look out for evidence of enamel that is diagnostic of teeth. :)

99.99999% sure It's a rock.

New Hampshire doesn't have a lot of fossils, almost all the rock is igneous or metamorphic. 

 

But from that angle it's one of the best pseudo fossils I've seen!

Could it be a hoof core? Kinda looks like  the right shape.

Not seeing any bone material here. New Hampshire is pretty short on fossils.  :( 

Dang glaciers.

The guy we had tasked with finding one there seems to have gotten sidetracked. And I practically drew him a map. :shakehead:

Kidding of course. It was a vague lead given to a busy collector/professional.
