Fishinfossil Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Found on a gravel bar in NJ Cretaceous stream. Doesn't appear to have a root hole for a tooth. Its tapered like a claw would be, but I don't really have a good picture showing that. Any idea what it could be and from what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I dont see anything that jumps out and says its a tooth (lack of enamel) or dinosaurian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I think this may be one of those pesky concretions found in the streams.

Darktooth Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It looks like a worn root of a sawfish tooth, minus the blade. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jersey Devil Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Pics aren’t clear enough to be certain, but it’s very likely either a concretion or the tip of an Enchodus dermopalatine “You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.” ― Mikhail Tal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishinfossil Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I know the pics don't show it too well, but it definitely has that bony striation in its makeup. An Enchodus tooth tip would be cool, for now its unidentified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
