Discovered this piece lodged within a compacted, well cemented limestone unit with other fossils such as bivalves, algae and forams. Most probably of Maastrichtian age, limestone matrix formed during a marine transgression event. Specimen has a shiny coating on top exposed surface (enamel?), flaky in nature. Seems to resemble a tooth. Would like to further enquire on thoughts.

Could be. Although it should probably be exposed a bit more to say for certain.

Where is this from?

We need a location (e.g., nearby city or town, county) and country of origin.

If it is flaky, it could be a fish scale. I have found many at Richmond, north Queensland, Australia that look like that and are flaky. 

But please wait for other opinions, I don't know what it is.
