I found this tooth at around 6 inches deep in the middle of the woods (pretty much rules out it being a modern toy) in Southern Luxembourg.
It was next to an old creek but nothing else was found at that site other than this.
The biggest animals over here are foxes and wild boar and it cant be from one of them so I'm completely puzzled.
I've found other aquatic fossils in other parts of the country that I have identified to be gryphaea and belemnites.
Any insight is appreciated.

Indian Steve is correct. It's a deer toe bone and I doubt that its fossilised. Teeth don't have those small holes in them, which are channels for blood supply capillaries.
