Trying to ID what appears to be a tooth

[Crotalus]

Found on coastal island , Georgia USA. Tip appears to be broken slightly. Bullet shaped and solid throughout. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am sure it is a tooth, but what kind of tooth..., lets wait for the specialists 

looks a little bit like a dolfin-tooth or whale-tooth for me when I compare it with ones I have from the belgium coastal area

nice find!

Do you see those horizontal lines on your tooth?  Horizontal lines === whale,  every time.  Most canines seem to have vertical lines...

and You do not have the tip,  you have the root.....

 

 

 

You have the root because many whale teeth have hollow cores until they complete growing and the place where the pulp cavity fills in last is in the root area...

 

EDITED to add this tip
