DaredChance Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Found this one at a local antique store. The owner claimed that it was a tooth that their aunt had found near Salina, Kansas. Wish I had more information for you, but thats all I got. Any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbi Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi, I'm from Salina, KS! I'm sorry to tell you that it's probably an ordinary river rock with suggestive shape; I don't see crown and/or enamel. I am familiar with rock units and some fossils around Salina, and none of the tooth fossils found there are as long as 7 inches, except mammoth tooth.

This first pic, it looks like it could possibly be the internal mold of something. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSRhunter Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 If they said this was found on the East Coast I would've said sperm whale tooth but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_gotta_rock Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I agree not a tooth. Should be either some root material or a socket at the end for that. Suggestive rock is a safe bet, but could it be a claw? I refuse to give up my childish wonder at the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
