PSchleis Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The black part of this is so smooth and shiny, it truly looks like an enamel. But even though it is somewhat conical, it doesn't seem to be a tooth. Part of it looks very much like plain rock, but then the shape looks rather deliberate. Oh I don't know - I give up. Any ideas?

PSchleis Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Looks like it takes about 8 of these to make one whole tooth, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Looks like a gomphothere/mastodon tooth to me, as well. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

At the moment I have to resort to strolling the forum and internet auctions (with mixed results :/ ).
