Railway relic or :?:

While visiting the outback in Western Australia this spring, I came across a former railway line. Lots of old railway spikes as well as these:

Here's a close up of one:

Browsed quite a few R/R sites, but so far haven't been able to figure out what these are. They are about 2-1/2" - 3" long and 3/4" - 1" in diameter. Perhaps they have nothing to do with the railway. Any clever relic or perhaps railway buffs who can identify these? Thanks for looking and happy thingy hunting!

Don't know right off but you can send a pic to the RR site I frequent "Locomotives, rolling stock & equipment" and someone should know. Steve in so az

Soilsnoop, I see nobody identified your items, so I registered in this forum to let you know.
They are teeth from a rotomilling machine used to strip up layers of old asphalt from a highway so it can be repaved
