There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Even in those cat examples, the super half of the tooth is curved unlike the tooth in question. The transition of the contour from curved to straight is just so sudden and no where can we find a similar match. Do agree with identifying it as crocodile being iffy (and thus the very, very, very tentative diagnosis earlier). To be frank, the contour almost looked like a whale tooth but the region and preservation didn't fit.

These alligator somewhat share the shape too but they're much smaller.:

The teeth can be sharp as well:

On the size, not sure. If it is a farmed crocodile, you may have a big one on your hands. Moreover, crocodiles have many teeth and I don't have the expertise to know all the variations.
I'll see when I get home since the crack occurred when I shake the tooth it sounds and feels like powder is getting sloshed around inside of it.
Almost like it's decaying from the inside.
