Was out walking the dog today and came across this, it just jumped out at me for some reason, just looked odd the way it's formed?
It's really dense and hard and probably weighs as much as a similar sized pebble.
It was found on a piece of ground not too far from the sea, birds sometimes drop fish etc there, fish skulls etc sometimes lie around, here's some pics.

Didn't even think of it being a tooth, i thought maybe part of a horn off something? But yep, could definetly be a tooth. I found it on the site of an old power station?

That is a molar tooth from a herbivore, possibly sheep or cow.

Could well be bovid, possibly they incinerated foot&mouth or other diseased cattle there.

Cow or horse tooth, too big for sheep
