Hi. I'm very much an amateur, but I found this in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania and thought it looked a little...toothy, but it could just be a rock. Any help would be much appreciated!

I don't think its a fossil but a rock that looks very convincingly like a tooth.

Westmoreland county is mostly Pennsylvanian age, so you are unlikely to find large teeth like that. Pennsylvania has lots of wonderful invertebrate fossils though. I think in this month's invertebrate fossil of the month poll almost half are from Pennsylvania. So keep searching there's fossils out there.
