This is a some kind of tooth from the Eocene. I found it a few feet from this shark tooth I also found but couldn't figure what this is. I was imagining fish?
Microscope images included and also showing it is transparent in the light where the tooth gets thinner. No serrations. 
People didn't like that I used American currency so here is Ancient Rome, , Canadian, Belgian and wheat cents for any time travelers or old timers. 
I lost my snarge ruler unfortunately.

Yes, a fish tooth. Possibly from the family Trichiuridae; cutlassfish.

I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Shame that you don't have a Polish Grosz -- almost dead on size wise.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
