Tooth Fossil Found in Richmond, Australia

I found this fossil I need to clean up a bit. It's 7cm long, smooth and more or less straight. I found it in Richmond, Australia. I think it's a Plesiosaur fossil but I am wondering if anyone has second opinions or can confirm!

Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

Looks a bit more like a belemnite, to me. 

Plesiosaur teeth have striations, and are slightly curved.

Regards,

Agreed with Fossildude19, it's a belemnite

I agree, belemnite.
