Thank you.

That would be a nicely weathered piece of Rugosa, or horn coral. It's been tumbled quite a bit by the water so you're just seeing the septa on the surface. Very nice looking piece!

Welcome! I agree with horn coral, but those colours are a lot nicer than any others i've ever seen! :wub:

Thanks! We were all thinking some sort of tooth here so my Googling would have never paid off. I'm glad I came here.
