Unidentified Tooth

[Digi]

This is a fossils I found on Edisto Beach in South Carolina. To this point I've assumed it's a tooth but I'm not 100% due to the apparent lack of a root. I originally thought it belonged to some kind of ungulate but under further research it could possibly even be some carnivorous incisor? Either way the curiosity is killing me! Tell me what you guys think. I left the photos large to retain detail.

It is exactly 1 inch in length, or about 2.5 centimeters And 3/8 inches in height, or about 1 centimeter

 

 

If you need any other angles just let me know, its super hard to photograph.

Looks like an osteoderm/scute from a ray.

That was my thought also.

Here's a couple of images pulled from the web. Yours of course is a bit more water worn.

I also agree- here is one I recently found in Florida.

I still can't quite confirm it. Thank you all though for the help! I didn't even know rays had scutes before this, so I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again, for help identifying

I think it is a very worn part of a fish skull similar to this one found at Myrtle Beach. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/91332-unknown-fossil-find-on-myrtle-beach-fish-skull/

That’s nearly identical to my piece! Thanks a ton for the solve 

 

edit: again my piece is nearly identical aside from the top and most people seemed to agree that it was a tilly bone. Is it common or even possible for these bones to deform in the same way?
