Chris Anderson Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I call this one a Lucky tooth. I was bending down to fix my pants leg, I spotted it out of of the corner of my eye. I believe it is a fossiled deer tooth. The gum is all there and half of the tooth is sticking out of the gum. This was found on North Myrtle Beach today. I would really like help comfirming this is a deers tooth. I appreciate all of y'alls advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earendil Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Technically speaking, it's not the gum, it's the jawbone. We will need pics looking down at the chewing surface. Thanks!

Chris Anderson Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 This is clearest I can get it. And I don't know why I said gum for. In my mind I was thinking jawbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
