Tooth? Bone? or Shell piece?

[MAINE HILLS HUNTER]

Went out detecting yesterday on the beach of a local lake and pulled up a bunch of stuff, mostly junk but in one of my holes there was this tooth shaped thing. I originally thought it was the inside of a shell, but that is unlikely because we are in Iowa (used to live in CT). My wife thinks it is a tooth and my 6yr old boy says it is a bone shard. I agree with my wife. Anybody have any ideas. I posted the best picture I could. If I need to I can try to post a better pic. If it is a tooth anybody have any idea as to what of?

Glad you got out IH! It looks like you can see the inside of the bone along the side of the tooth, meaning it's not a tooth, or it's a broken tooth. Hard to tell from the pic, but I would go with bone shard.

Fish bone? Never would have thunk it! Wanted it to be a tooth...thought that would have been cool. Oh well... at least I got out twice this weekend !!!
