I found this on the beach tonight and was wondering if anyone could help identify it.

Isn't Hawaii all volcanic?

 I would go for Pseudofossil.

I did not know if it was some sort of animal tooth? I looked up seal and it did not look like that…

Is it hollow? If so, it could be the tip of a crab claw.

I have a couple crab claws and it looks and feels totally different… it is not all of the way hollow… I thought maybe a crab claw at first until I dig out some of the ones I have and it is definitely different 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure

Could be a steinkern of a crab claw.
Not seeing any enamel present to indicate a tooth.
