GPayton Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Another find today from the Brazos River just southwest of Houston. The grooves on top of this piece look very similar to pictures of mammoth teeth that I have seen before, but it is obviously far too small to be a full tooth or even half of one. Is it just a fragment? And is it even really a mammoth tooth? If it's a pseudofossil after all, it's a darn convincing one. It's definitely mineralized and has a crystal-like sheen with slight sparkles here and there when it catches the light. Any help on an ID would be great!

Fossildude19 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Cropped and brightened: This doesn't look like mammoth enamel to me. More like shell material. Maybe a bit of a rudist. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

garyc Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I would have picked it up and given it a once over also. I agree with Fossildude. Welcome to TFF! Maybe I’ll run into you at the Brazos sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
