Collected this on a beach where a Miocene river entered the ocean, thus finding many land animal fossils washed up on beach (previous finds: African mammoth molar & tusk pieces).

 

Probably not to clear on some of the photos, but has a flat bottom with an indentation.

 

At the bottom of the indentation there is a small channel that runs all the way through the piece.

 

Around the indentation, the piece is build up in concentric (and elliptical) layers.

Root canal. Looks toothy to me.
