Found on beach, interesting rock or fossil?

I found this a few months ago washed up on the beach, it looks like a worn tooth to me but may just be an interesting rock. It caught my eye because of how much different it is to the normal shells/volcanic rock etc found here. This was found in Costa Rica, Puntarenas province (Pacific Side)

Interesting rock. No bone texture or morphology present. 

No enamel or root texture to be a tooth.

I agree.  Not a tooth or bone.

My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

It’s a piece of gneiss, a foliated (layered) metamorphic rock in a suggestive shape, I’m sorry
