It looks like a finger that has been exposed to the sea for a while!!

They found a human head in the stomach of a cod a number of years back.

I would have thought Razor myself. Just a thought, we fished a leg of the Munsters on Youghal a couple of weeks ago and the whole shoreline was absolutely carpeted in (empty) Razor and cockle shells after a good blow. Has something similar occured up there recently by any chance?
