Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Found on the Peace River in central Florida. Thought it was just a coincidentally shaped rock but on further inspection it might be a tooth! Grateful to hear from the pros!

Looks like a tortoise spur, to me.  :unsure: 

 

No enamel = no tooth.

Thanks fossildude! Looking at photos of spurs I think you're probably right.

Yup, confirm that this is a tortoise spur. Nice find! :D
