Hello all! Been researching for so long to try and figure out what kind of tooth this is when I came across your site. So here is my fossilized tooth, im not sure where the tooth was found (i’m in nevada, but could be from elsewhere), sorry for the little to no info but that’s all I have, if you guys have any more questions or anything of the sort, just reply to this thread and i’ll reply asap. Thank you!

Not a tooth, but a neat fragment of a cephalopod with tell-tale suture pattern. 

 

Here's one from an ammonite I found online with a similar pattern to yours:

@cameronraygun This is a pretty nice find! Good job! I'm pretty sure its some type of cephalopod, though currently unsure on genus ID for it! Do you know the name of the formation it was collected from or the general place it was nearby? It could help with getting a proper ID for the specimen!

I agree. Not a tooth but a baculites fragment.
