I found this tooth like thing while diving close yo shore in lzmir/Turkey. I'm curious if its really a tooth or something or just a weird shaped shell. Thanks for the help in advance.

OP - how big is this? As others have said, you have the tooth of an ungulate, and from morphology this should end up being the upper molar of a cow.

It's a cow molar

It’s an ungulate tooth. How big is it? That’d help pinpoint what animal’s tooth it is.
Patapon128@reddit (OP)
Its like 4 or 5 cm.

Then I’d guess it’s a sheep or a cow tooth!

Tooth. I would ask r/vutureculture or r/bonecollecting if you want to figure out exactly what kind of tooth it is. Though I agree with the other comment with some kind of ungulate.
