This was found on a river gravel bar in southern Minnesota. There are glacial gravel deposits in the area. I believe it may be a piece of tusk bark (the outer bark or cementum) Thoughts?

I usually attempt this mixture of Trip report (finds) and a couple of Fossil_id. Sunday I was out hunting the 1st time with Jp @Balance, Today with 2 Octogenarians that have been hunting partners for over 10 years, Just that fact made the days different... Truly a unique mixture of finds... Knowns... A couple of very nifty Alligator Osteoderms.. Neither seems broken in any way.... A partial silicified seashell... I love these ... It might be Fulguropsis spiratuma, from Florida's Pliocene. Let's see if @MikeR has a suggestion... An Armadillo Osteoderm... A Tympanic Bulla that I think I recognize ... s Bobby says an Oceanic Dolphin, something like Delphinus or Stenella. Note that silica is taking hold here also 1/2 a Tapir tooth , some Hemipristis and a few tigers. Then what seems to be a bullet... One of my hunting companions thinks it is old.. really old ... like possibly the Seminole wars.. That would be exciting.. It is certainly nondescript but seems to be made of lead.. Any insight appreciated. Finally, a fossil tusk to Identify. Think found by my other hunting companion.

Hello all, This was found in a collection from my friend who passed away last year. It appears pretty old, I thought maybe rhino, but it seems a little short and stubby for that. Any thoughts as to animal this came from. I have no idea where it was found/purchased.

Hi. Could anyone identify this please. My wife and I were walking on our local beach on the Isle of Sheppey in North Kent and spotted this. Doing a wee bit of research, we are edging towards a Walrus Tusk. it is about 11 inches long, is flat on the inner curve, both ends look like marrow (shame the narrow end had snapped off at some point on its journey), weighs about 2 1/2 lbs Can anyone please help identify this?

Went out for a couple of hours today and came back with some good stuff and lots of questions about different things I found. I haven't had a chance to clean the specimens up and will this evening... but I'll start with this one. Pretty sure this is a piece of tusk. I can see the cross bands in some of the images. Is the entire thing enamel? Don't know anything about enamel. I see what looks like 2 layers... are both completely enamel? Also... how would you know whether it came from a mammoth or a Mastodon? Found in SE Texas on a gravel bank.

Recently went an area known for pleistocene and pliocene material in North Carolina. Stumbled upon what has me wondering is either a tusk or a tooth of some kind. I did find mammoth material there, but never a tusk. But because there's also pliocene, not sure if it's something from then. Would love to know what you all think

Found by a friend on a Southern Minnesotan river gravel bar. Sediments in the area include everything both glacial till deposits and cretaceous sea mudstone and sandstones. although, I suspect this is modern.

I was out in a nearby creek yesterday searching my newest honey hole when I pulled this up, at first I thought it was petrified wood, but then I thought I saw schreger lines. I'm not an expert so I'm getting it checked here. Thanks!
