Tooth or claw or cool rock

I found this in northeastern Mexico about 5 hours south of the border.  

 

It’s a bit more than 3 inches long, rounded on one side and bladed on the other like a saber. 

 

Please help ID. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the shape but the first picture seems to have fossil bits on it. Maybe better focus will show some cool stuff. :fingerscrossed:

While the shape is suggestive or a tooth or claw, I don't believe that it is.

It's not a tooth, as there is no enamel or root texture present on the piece. 

I don't think it is a claw, as there are no articular surfaces, and no bone texture. 

At this point, I would have to go with a suggestively shaped rock.
