Rockwood Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I have been spreading's and shaping some gravel on a road lately. This morning I noticed a few stray stones that needed to be raked away. Seeing that I had just roped down a load of brush over the rake, I decided to just pick the largest few by hand. This caught my eye as I reached for the first one. Am I crazy, or is this a piece of a mastodon tooth ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Not really seeing the distinctive striated cross-section through the enamel. Thinking this may be some sort of chert. Jury is still out on the other half of the question. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think it looks a lot like right about there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 That would be from the inside dentine core of the tooth. Not a really large area but I now see your piece is only around 1 cm in size. Could be. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
