Lousy pictures.
Looks like a very old tooth from what I can tell.

Releventchair is on the right track. That type of tooth has been shown and identified many times here in the What-Is-It? forum. Unfortunately I can't recall whether the folks who know said the ID is a cow tooth or a horse tooth. Somebody will speak up with the correct answer shortly.

Thanks but can't be helped my phone is broken so not alot I could do about the quality of the pictures, hense why I haven't posted in so long.

i thought it was a pipe for smoking or maybe a pool cue stick holder?
If it is a tooth, I would be afraid to run into such a huge animal in a dark alley!

Didn't mean insult.
Just my eyes perception.

I've taken my share of lousy pics.. Yours aren't that bad. Just blurry to me.

I'd say it's a broken fossil tooth of a camel. From the Pleistocene, 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago. Here's an artists assembly of Pleistocene megafauna. Your tooth is on the older side, being mineralized as it is. Nice find!

Or it's a horse tooth.

Can you share where you found it or obtained it? Details will help with positive ID. Pretty sure as others said on horse tooth but details please. Thanks.

On the beach of North Sea?

On the beach of North Sea?

Yes North East England, druridge bay beach UK

Thought so. I found many fossils between Whitby and Filey at the bottom of the cliffs along the Cleaveland Way. I never found a horse tooth. Very nice find. Cheers.

Horse tooth.

Reminds me of that phrase, "Long in the tooth" lol.

That looks like a fossilized tooth.

Put it on a piece of white or DARK paper and try taking pictures of it

For sure it's a cheek tooth from a horse. The size does not reflect a large ferocious animal. The bulk on the tooth would have been embedded in the jaw, like this:



It might well be a Pleistocene fossil if from the North Sea. A camelid tooth could be similar but we have no history of fossil camels being found in Britain as far as I know. There are instances of camel remains from Roman times but very rare occurrences. Your pictures aren't clear, but these would be typical occlusal patterns for horse molars:
