Multituberculate tooth?

I found this little guy sorting through some Aguja formation, late Cretaceous, matrix. It looks like a Multituberculate mammal molar on part of the jaw to me. I have shown several sides, including a cross section when the tooth broke in two as I was photographing it. Aghhh! Fortunately, I glued it back together pretty well. What do you think? The hash marks are 1mm.

Very cool looking. It looks metallic or like a fine grade chalcedony or cryptocrystalline material. What material is it?

Oops the significance of that escaped me the first go round. Ok, now it just got so much cooler. Wow! is right. Not sure I recall seeing one posted on here.
