Rheatian Fossil Tooth Identification


Trilobite1

Recommended Posts

For a University project I am working on a sample of Rheatian Bone Bed collected from Lavernock, South Wales, UK.

During the separation process I found a different looking tooth to the common bony fish teeth and sharks teeth, but I'm not sure what it is. 

I think it looks like a mammal molar? Is there anyone with any experience around this topic that could offer some insight?

I have attached two images the specimen, thanks.

Top, bottom, front, back. and sides.

Not a mammal, I think it's a partial Ceratodus tooth. We need a few more angles to confirm this though.
