Possible Enamel???

[freerangetraveler]

Spent the day out on Post Oak Creek in Sherman Texas…  I met some new friends and found a fairly good haul of shark teeth.

 

In addition, I think I may have stumbled across a small piece of enamel…  Maybe mastodon???  I’d love to get the groups thoughts on what that is (or tell me if I’m way off base).

 

cheers!

I need some help with this one…  

 

I pulled this out of Post Oak Creek (Austin Chalk Formation) in Sherman Texas yesterday.  The ridges on the top and sides lead me to believe it may be some type of enamel.  It is somewhat translucent, but not transparent like quartz.  

 

Does this look like enamel or am I way off base here?  If it is indeed enamel, any thoughts on what species it may be from?

Hi i think it's geologic but wait other's opinion.

It's not enamel and is likely just geologic as @fifbrindacier said, but it's possible that it could be a piece of ivory. Could you post a picture of the other side?

The morphology is roughly that of mammoth tooth. I'm afraid I have to agree that the texture is not quite right though.
