TronJavolta Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Found on the Peace River in central Florida. Thought it was just a coincidentally shaped rock but on further inspection it might be a tooth! Grateful to hear from the pros!

Fossildude19 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Looks like a tortoise spur, to me. No enamel = no tooth.
