Any idea what this could be?

I have a sneaky suspicion that this is turtle shell but someone has suggested that it could be the top surface of a Mammoth tooth. I have no idea where it originated from. Many thanks!

Pictures of the edges will be helpful, but I think Turtle shell is more likely.

Hope this is ok. The edges have that tiny 'bubble' like appearance.

despite the blurry pix, I think it is a shell piece from a soft-shelled turtle.

Yup. It's part of a costal bone from a softshelled turtle.

 

 

Cheers.
