There is no evidence of enamel so I would say highly unlikely to be a tooth. As for what it is, how about a claw core? I do not have experience with these, but the general shape exists. Now is it boney in structure? Lets see what better educated members come up with!!

It appears to be solid flint which is well known for producing pseudofossils in the shape of teeth and bones. :)
