Micro fossil?

Was unfamiliar with this geologic formation and had to look it up to see the age and what might be found there. Seems its Upper Jurassic and that reptile and early mammal fossils are its claim to fame.

Difficult to see from the photo (and difficult to photograph micro-fossils). Since you have it in hand, can you describe it more? It is generally tooth shaped but does it seem to be a tooth when viewing in hand? Any striations or serrations that may be seen with magnification but don't appear in the above photo?

 

Hopefully, we've got someone on this forum who is familiar with this Jurassic outcrop from the UK.

 

 

Cheers.
