HunterMeg Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi, This question is between categories. Has anyone seen markings (numbers) on a shark tooth like this? I have tried to wipe them off with acetone, and they will not come off. Any idea how they were applied or how to remove them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiros Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Maybe some sort of osedax like bone eating organism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Mineral staining? I would leave them there, they add interest to the fossil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I agree with Gus. The markings are a natural staining in the enamel. Now if you find a tooth with an image of Elvis, give me a call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterMeg Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Thank you for responding. I’ll let you know when I find Elvis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
