Is this an Iguanodon tooth?

Hi everyone!

 

I was reworking the block with the pterosaur tooth that I found a few months ago at Yaverland on the Isle of Wight (UK) and found what looks like a really small iguanodon tooth (3 mm total lenght):

Am I right or is this something else?

 

Thank you!

I think it needs more prep work, to discern what it could be.  :unsure:

The striations and flaring at the base make me think it's a hybodont tooth.
