Any help identifying this find will be greatly appreciated. Driving me crazy! Almost 2 inches long. Very hard like bone or agate. Has horizontal growth rings? (I haven't seen these in Teeth before) Partial exterior material. Looks like enamel at tip and bottom. Could it be a Cephalopod? Found at Picnic island while hunting! Tampa FL. Thank you! -Kimberly

looks like a sperm whale, Physeteroidea, possibly family Physeteridae.
