Looks like a shattered tooth from a cow or similar. Did the NMW analysis distinguish between bone and tooth?

Dear All, This was found high up on the beach, where it's a mixture of mud and grass - at Steart Point, in Somerset this year. A sample has been taken and analysed by National Museum Wales, it is bone. I would be very grateful if anybody could help me identify it.
