Shark Tooth? Beach ID request

Recommended Posts

I found this on the beach at the surf side northern tip of Hatters Island, North Carolina (Outer Banks).  

Anyone have an idea what this might be? My first guess was shark tooth but not quite sure now I've seen more samples. 

Also, any idea what the small dots are that kind of form a triangle? 

 

Thanks, I'm just starting to get into this hobby.

It doesn’t look like a tooth. The different colored "layers" make me think more about the hinge of a bivalve (oyster?) so worn out by the water that there is not much left. More advices will be forthcoming soon.

Looks like a water worn shell bit to me, also.
