Welcome to TFF!

Can You post pictures of the ends and other sides?

Also - please include a scale for size reference.

Hmmm....

a few ideas pop to mind but none fit just right...

@Fossil-Hound Does this look like any of those buggy things you play with?

I believe it's a piece of banded flint - interesting stuff that has an annoying habit of looking like a fossil that no-one can quite identify...

[Taogan]

Another vote for a flint or chert pseudofossil.

Here is some more pictures with sizes

I agree with the others. Not a lot of fossils in Cornwall either.

Good photos - I still think banded flint, like this (from: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/thread/17962 ):

LOL. Too smooth to be a trilobite. If it was a trilobite it would win the record for the most worn out trilobite ever to be discovered.

Ill have to agree with banded flint. It reminded me so much of a mastodon tooth, but then I realized that the texture is too smooth and solid to be bone material
