Stone like tooth ?

[Pav123]

Hi im new to the forum

My son and found this out fossil hunting it looks like a giant tooth. It was about 100 meter above sea level in a drained dam 

 

Its real heavy for the size of it

Any ideas????????

Sorry, don't think its a tooth. No enamel for one thing. And no real tooth morphology. The shape is definitely suggestive of one. Looks like solid piece of stone.

Welcome to TFF!  It is not a tooth, unfortunately. It looks very geologic to me.

Could be a flint concretion. Exactly where was it found? There are a lot of dams in the UK.

Tooth-like stone.

Thanks every1. Found in northern Ireland there was a lot of big white rocks I think is limestone beside it.... Tooth like stone hahaha I was sure it was tooth

No tooth, but do not throw away. This could also be a (limonite) concretion (similar to Mazon Creek or Shropshire concretions) that formed around a fossil. You would have to break the concretion and see what is inside.

Don't worry, every single person here has done exactly the same (and if they say they haven't they're lying )
