Hi my son loves fossils,  and we found this high up in Kent, England, in a farmers field.

Can someone identify it please?

Welcome to the forum.  Sorry, it's not a shark tooth.

I agree that it has the appearance of a tooth, but there is no enamel to be seen, which is a distinguishing characteristic of all shark teeth.

I agree. This is a suggestively shape rock, and not a tooth.
It lacks enamel, and true tooth morphology.

Almost certainly a piece of a flint nodule which often assume curved, pointed shapes. Definitely not a tooth.
