Reminds me of a snapping turtle skull almost.

It is a bivalve shell cast

Yes sir. One of the clam's ....if I remember right. Basically a fossilized cast of the inside of the shell. Cool find!

Pretty much.

It's an internal cast of the "Cucullaea gigantea" extinct giant clam, or something very closely related. I've collected plenty of them.

Lower jaw of a prehistoric alligator snapping turtle maybe....a very young one at that.

Ditto!!! Most definitely an internal mold of a bivalve.

It looks like a brachiopod. A bilaterally symmetrical bivalve. Probably a Paleozoic age sea shell. Nice specimen !

Without a doubt it is a skull fossil from an infant alien from the 6th planet of the intergalactic terrestial system justbullshootinyou.

Yeah, the elevated back excludes it as a shark tooth. It looks like the ridge of somethings back. I used to find fossilized allagator ridges, but they were much smaller.

Positively not a sharks tooth. It is however super cool and worth investigating.

 

[Ninjafossils]

It's a shell cast. I'm done posting this.

 

[Tamara69]

Exactly what it is.

I don't think it's a tooth. Looks like a bivalve shell to me. Like a muscle or clam. Where did u find it? Those teeth don't just turn anywhere and are specific to certain geologic formations.

=============================================================
I have to agree with Tuggerman on this one. In my possession are a half dozen or so Megladon teeth and your find looks nothing like mine. Not even close.
Tuggerman has this one right I think,,, it is a bivalve of some sort.

Hit

[trdking]
