Hello! I just came back from the Isle of Wight. I started "digging" in the Vectis formation stones that I collected at Yaverland and found what looks like a pterosaur tooth. It is +- 3 cm (1,18 inch) in lenght. I couldn't find anything online from the Isle of Wight resembling this kind of dagger shape, more typical of the Rhamphorhynchus pterosaurs. So pterosaur, fish or something else? Thank you!

I saw this tooth for sale recently, labeled as Pterosaur from Solnhofen, the tooth seems way too thick to be pterosaur, any thoughts? I'm thinking it might be fish, but I have no idea.
