Tooth of some sort?

[JBG]

Hello All! 100% novice here. I found the item shown below at a local Southern California beach. The first image is when I first picked it up, seemingly covered in tar and wet. The second image is how it looks today, after being washed and dried. 

 

It has an almost wood like feel to it, its very light. But the shape of it has lead several people to comment that they think it may be some sort of tooth. 

 

So so I come before you, completely clueless, and ask for some expertise. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to TFF!

It is a piece of drift wood.

Agreed it is a nice pseudofossil shark tooth, but definitely driftwood!

Thanks! I assumed so, but now I have expert opinion to silence the pseudoscientific group!
