Fossildude19 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 These look like some of the ironstone/bog iron concretions from the area, to me. 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Rockwood Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The third photo down does resemble a worn out Ceratopsid tooth. I suspect it is a coincidence though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, at Big Brook iron infiltrates/encased "everything"! Could the larger images not be a very worn Hadrosaur tooth? Or would we should we have more root? In other words, this artifact is just too thin? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Although this has some resemblance to a Ceratopsian tooth, not hadro its a Concretion. Need additional views to comment on this specimen, initially looks geologic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
