What is this ?

[belemniten]

Yesterday i was in the nice quarry Moldenberg near Heidenheim. 

There you can find many fossils from the White jurassic. I found some bivalves, different types of brachiopods and also some crinoid stems.

But i will post the whole trip with more finds and also with pictures of the location later ....

 

I just have a question regarding this strange thing:

 

 

Its 0.75 cm long and about 0.3 cm thick.

It has also a very strange structure like you can see on the photos .... maybe a part of a starfish ?

I have never seen something else before  .... hopefully someone can help me !

 

Some more pictures:
 

 

 

Thanks for your help !

It is the crown of a shark tooth. It looks very much like Heterodontus but I'm not very familiar with Jurassic sharks.

I agree with Al Dente, it looks like a heterodontus shark tooth.

Nice find!!

That's no everyday find, Sebastian! Congratulations! I'd find someone to abrade that for you if you can't do it yourself.

I didn't mean that I was offering to do it for you. Sorry about the misunderstanding. That was the general "I", meaning "you", a Redewendung we English speakers sometimes use. No, I've never been to that quarry.
