Hello,

Found this a couple of years ago at Lyme Regis, England

Looks like a tooth or claw and is about an inch and a half long

Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks

Chris

Reminds me of flint; could you take some more pictures of the flat end and pointed tip? Thanks.

It is tooth-shaped, somewhat, but I do not note any enamel. A picture of the broken end might be revealing.

I think there we have it: an excellent flint 'tooth-mimic'. The range of forms that Lyme Regis flint can assume appears limitless!
