Still hoping some shark specialist would be able to clear up what this is. Sharpness can be carnivorous. Or not a tooth at all snail? Unknown still but it’s from a clay DE layer that’s washing off top of a opal mountain . my guess is it’s aquatic type and had big teeth. And bones the size of a chain link fence post.

Welcome. I'm sorry to tell you it is not a shark tooth. When you find a fossil shark tooth, there is no doubt. Your common opal specimen just happened to form in a pointed shape. Notice how the edges fade out with no defined break between it and the mother rock.

Here are a few I collected in 2017 as examples. Something you don't see every day, are the whale ear bones. Lower left, lower right.

Last last picture certainly looks like a common tooth surface to me. I think you may have a megafauna tooth candidate there

I have literally found tens of thousands of fossil sharks teeth and what you posted bears no resemblance to a shark tooth.
Now take my opinion with a grain of salt, there are other members on here that are more academically trained on the matter and hold some prestigious positions within the fossil community so maybe one will chime in.

Kray, these look like Summerville teeth. I sure do miss some of the sites I have collected there over the years.
