While digging tile in front yard near Exeter Ontario I found a object that appears to be a tooth, it’s about 2-1/2 long, not too many Dinosaurs lived in this area, any guesses on what this would be from? Let me know if I need to add more information...thanks

I'm afraid it's just a normal stone in the shape of a tooth. No sign of enamel on it for the first thing and secondly, the exposures in your area are either too young or too old for dinosaurs. If any remnants of them were ever there, then they were stripped off by the glaciers quite a while ago.

Welcome to the Forum. :) 

I agree, this is a suggestively shaped rock. 

Keep looking, though. ;)

Not a lot of exposed bedrock in your area, so likely a water-worn transport. But, if you make the drive to the Goderich area, you may find some interesting Devonian-aged fossils.

Welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx.  I agree with above comments, esp. the "keep looking" advice.
