Is this a fossil with a tooth indentation? If so what is it and what tooth?

Found this on the beach of Wildwood Crest, NJ this week. Interested in what the item is but also interested in what appears to be a bite impression. Not much to go on but any information or thoughts are appreciated.  
 

Kind regards,

 

Sean

Welcome to the Fossil Forum!  This looks mostly like a rock to me with no indication of a bite mark, but there does appear to be a fossil buried within it (in the lower right of the last two pictures).  I cant hazard much of a guess on what the fossil is without uncovering more of it or knowing something about the age; could be a brachiopod, could be lots of things.

Thank you for welcoming me to the forum and taking the time to respond. I was looking for shark’s teeth this week so it’s fair to say that I wasn’t approaching this find with an open mind. Much appreciated

The mark is a mold fossil. It is hard to say for sure , but nautiloid shell would be another possibility.
