Need help identifying fossil from Mulberry Fla phosphate mines

[grff0127]

.Hello, I would appreciate any information you can give me on this fossil. My father gave this to me many years ago. He was an avid fossil hunter in Florida. He hunted in the phosphate mines in Mulberry, Florida. He had quite a collection and even loaned some of his finds to the University of Florida back in the 1970's. I know nothing about fossils and don't remember if he ever told me what this is, If he did I don't remember so any help you can give me in identifying this will be most appreciated.This item is almost 2 1/2" long and 1/2" inch wide at the top.It has a letter B on it. I know he used to send items to the university for identification so I assume it has something to do with it.This is the only fossil I have of his. When he died he willed them to a friend in Georgia who opened a small natural history museum at Taccoa Falls Bible College where they are displayed along with other items. Thanks again for your help.

David

Could be the horn or antler of an ungulate? (hoofed mammal).

Ya, I was going to say part of an antler tine.

Good morning, Thanks to all for the quick identification. I didn't think it would take you long.

Thanks again
