I found this rock (or fossil?) on Studland beach in Dorset, UK. I understand that it may just be a rock but the area (the Jurassic coast) is known for it's prevalence of fossils. I thought it may be a tooth of some kind. Can you help with identification please? Many thanks.

Welcome to the forum! :)
I can see it as a tooth-shaped flint nodule, considering the location and the visible conchoidal fractures .

Better luck next time, keep looking, there are lots of fossils to be found in that area. 

And a jolly warm welcome to TFF from Morocco.:)
