Pterygotus Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi everyone, I recently found this tooth in some material i collected last month and I’m pretty sure it’s a tooth, maybe mammal. Can anyone ID it to a species or genus level? It was found in the bathonian forest marble formation of Dorset, UK. Thanks . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 To my eyes, it looks more like a mineral specimen of some sort. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right though the rocks this was found in doesn’t particularly have many minerals and this specimen also appears to have enamel.

I can only go by the photos provided. To me this looks very similar to uvite tourmaline that is found in the Adirondacks, of New York. With the exception of the shape. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The texture and appearance looks like fish bone to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
