EAGLE TALON SHAPE ROCK PAINTED LIKE A CLAW PREHISTORIC OR FAKE?

I found this at a thrift store yesterday. I know the paint is new, but where it is chipped you can see it's a stone or granite or something underneath.
Was this a caveman's tool? Or a new copy?
Is that a stone underneath or something new that looks like a rock but isn't?
I had a prehistoric(?) bowl before that had been made - or been used because of it's shape - that had original paint on it (which showed it was from the midwest), and where there was a chip the stone underneath looked like this one
The way it pinches near one end makes me hopeful it's a real stone - and a real tool a modern man painted but had been a great addition for a prehistoric handyman!
Thanks

 

Perhaps a fossilized tooth.

 

likely fossil bear tooth......

 

size is important to include in your postings......

 

I like the fossil tooth proposition too (stop right there, komokwa ) but wonder if it hasn't also been worked. It's not rounded enough now for something that grew naturally, not like your very good example:

[photo to follow]

 

the underside could just be concave from drying out...or a different K-9 than my pic...

 

it does seen to be a bear tooth though..
But not knowing the SIZE......it may be from a different maminamal !!!

 

I'm seeing both sides shown as unnaturally flat, with almost a 90 degree angle between them, but I often have difficulty interpreting photos correctly when it comes to depth.

 

I also can't tell where it is painted.

 

Try searching "Replica T-Rex Tooth'.

Wow indeed! It looks identical to me.

 

Sure seems to!!!!! Hahaha.....needed time to switch to DH's computer to put them together.....iPad drives me CRAZZZEEE!!!!! Bottom one is labeled from "Tyrannosaurus Rex"........I think..........if so, that would probably be a pretty big size difference, wouldn't it????

 

Baby tooth, maybe?

 

Do we know that these are posted at the same scale? Original tooth size varied, too, and the shape certainly looks the same. If @journeymagazine is pretty certain the surface is painted/artificial, my vote is for a replica T-Rex tooth.

I'm done waiting for a size on this........... Erstwhile seems to be spot one tough..

 

Sorry just saw someone had answered this!! It measures 11" long x 2.5" wide
Thank you all - and again I apologize for delay
PS - I thought it was painted because in last pic if you look at corner on flat end nearest camera you can see where it has a small chip(?) and what looks like granite stone inside?

 

Never imagined it could be a tooth that big! Which is why I thought it was painted (along with afore mentioned chip).
Great find - wow!

 

So, we know @journeymagazine’s is 11” long but no clue as to the length of “T-Rex’s”?.......then my double image isn’t much help except to show visual similarities.......still need size comparisons!!!!!
