What is this strange object?

Is it a bone? A possible fossil?

It was collected on the shore of Northumberland Strait, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The strata at this location are generally late Permian, I believe.

 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi John, well it is not a bone, not a fossil and not Permian but on the plus side it is a tooth :thumbsu:

A mammal tooth. One of the experts will give a better ID soon. I think cow.

Bovid cheek tooth, possibly a musk ox.
