Landsurveyor Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 A friend of mine in SC who collects Native American artifacts was traded this item. To me, it resembles a fossilized tooth with a single root. Thanks for any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landsurveyor Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks, I thought so at first, too, but I've not seen one fossilized, (and this one may possibly not be), I haven't had a chance to see it in person. Thanks so much for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gnawed off nub of the base seems likely. A look at the bottom surface might be helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
