Spur rowel?

[BladeRunner2019]

Found this a while back in the woods where an early to mid 1800's home likely stood. It looks like a tiny saw blade and the points are pretty sharp, but we haven't found anything modern at the site. I was thinking it may be a spur rowel, but it's very thin and being so sharp I would think it would hurt the horse.

Just curious what you guys think it may be.

Thanks.

Gear for inside a clock, I would think.

Certainly could be!

I would say it is the escapment wheel for a large clock. Maybe mid to late 1800's.

It is definitely NOT a spur rowel.
