Name that bone

[~J~]

Been looking for an answer for this most of the night with no joy, so 'hopefully' some medical boffin will be able to let me know.

Found this in my garden today whilst digging. I'm 99.9% positive it's bone but can't for the life of me work out where it's from.

Tried to take it from a few angles (and rules about pictures in threads), but would really appreciate some ideas if anyone knows...

Had a go at gnawing it yet?

Looks like a tooth from a horse or something. I've found similer things around my area.

Maybe its a dinosaur bone

It would help if we know what animal it comes from aswell

I believe that to be the fossilized remains of a micro-machine.

You could take it to your local museum(Must be one that deals in bones) or vet to see if thy know where or what its from

Well just did a quick google-image for "Horse Tooth" and there are a few images that resemble it.

However, most astonishing is this...

Which is almost identical - and worth nearly a tenner!!

Dig around some and see if you can find some more bones, you might be living on a Medieval battle field

Actually, I believe that bone may come from the Homo Erectus.
