Can you determine table from ROWID?

I'm looking for a simple way to determine the table a record is in, given the ROWID of the record.

If I can limit the search to a particular group of tables (say 3 or four), is the ROWID only certain to appear in one table? If yes, then I could just select on each table looking for the ROWID. Is there a more general way to turn a ROWID into a table name?
