Found on the beach

Found this at the beach near Jacksonville Florida - I was thinking it might be a shark tooth - its about 2 inches long. The picture is of it sitting next to my Gear Head Nano wireless mouse.

Welcome to the Forum. :)

Not a shark tooth, as there is no enamel present.  :headscratch:

 

Could you take a few more pictures of the item outdoors?

Front and back, from directly above the fossil, rather than at an oblique angle.

could be a shark tooth covered in epibionts such as bryozoan. Most likely a shark tooth shaped piece of limestone though. Hope it's the former!

Maybe the enamel has worn off? The problem is, I cannot think of a similarly shaped shark tooth so I'm gonna have to go with geological unless pictures that suggest different are offered.

Happy hunting,
