Placoderm tooth? Milwaukee Formation, Devonian

  • Went collecting recently in Milwaukee at a well known Devonian outcrop along the Milwaukee River.  Found bryozoan, brachiopod, crinoid, and tabulate coral fossils.  This one intrigued me.  At first glance the lighter piece looks like a tooth.  What do you think?  Placoderm fossils are found here, but only rarely.  I know it could be just the way the rock fractured, but the lighter material makes me think it could be something.  Measurements are 3 cm long by 3.3 cm wide.  Laugh quietly 😆.  Probably wishful thinking.  I’m new here and this is my first post.  I’m glad I found this group and know I’m going to learn a lot.

Placoderms don't really have teeth, and I don't see a tooth or anything similar here. Looks like there are fossils around it but I'm not convinced this object itself is one, could be something geologic
