Hi everyone,
Althought I,m a big fan of paleontology I,m still new in this world and sometimes I,m not sure about what I find. I go fossil hunting to a mountain in Valencia, Spain, where I usually find some kinds of ammonites and belemnites. As far as I know the strats in that mountain are jurassic/cretaceous. The other day I found this but I,m not sure if it's a fossil or just a weird rock formation. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

It looks like something geological to me.

That's weird, but it more looks like a concretion than a fossil.

It has a tooth-like shape, but i don't see enamel on it.

The line between the would be root and the matrix is not defined as it should be if it were a tooth.

It is a pseudofossil, maybe tripolitic chert . link
