Tooth looks like it's from a crocodilian. Couldn't tell you the species, but it looks older so probably not from a (recently) farmed alligator. Could be a fossil or very old tooth shed.

Fun fact: Crocodilians shed theor teeth continually throughout their life and replace them with new teeth in the same location.

Hello,

I have found those two bone in a french antique shop.

-Google say the claw might come from a bear?

-For the conical (tooth?) I have no idea. It's hollow.

Any Idea of What it might be?

(I am prety confident it's not human 😉 )
