Hipockets Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Hey All, I found this tooth in some micro material from a creek in Castle Hayne NC. Was wondering if it was fossilized or not. Other material found were really worn small sharks teeth from the Eocene Castle Hayne Formation. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It looks like it... a canine tooth. I don't know if modern teeth in that area get stained brown but if not, you have an Eocene mammal tooth. Bravo. If it too heavy for your collection, feel free to send it to me. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipockets Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I am not sure if teeth get stained brown, but everything else does. Lots of tanic acid ( I believe they call it) in the NE Cape Fear and adjoining creeks. Maybe Plax or Al Dente can clarify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Looks like a racoon tooth to me. Probably modern.
