This is a tooth of a mosasaur, a marine reptile. The tip is missing. The surface is divided into longitudinal facets, which is typical of Mosasaurus and Platecarpus, but not Tylosaurus. (Length 1.5 cm.)
There is a LOT of good mosasaur information on the Web. Check out the Oceans of Kansas Paleontology website.
