Was told by a friend that this could be plesiosaur or some other triassic reptile making is much rarer as ichthyosaur teeth don’t bend apparently.

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

A better positive image I took with better lighting. Negative wouldn't cooperate in the same way, as camera wouldn't focus properly:
