Zenmaster6 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Found in creek in Texas. I pulled mastodon tusks and molars out of the same creek. Could it be mammoth fragment or tapir jaw fragment? Also please note fossils here do not turn black like Florida, but stay white with blue inclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Any pattern or texture on the edge? Does it feel soapy like when damp? The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No schreger lines on the end. no bone pores either. Looks like tusk but no schreger lines. It does kinda feel soapy but at the same time not totally.

JohnJ Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Looks like an ivory fracture pattern. Sometimes schreger lines are not visible. Still, the interior 'struts' are more bone-like. 1 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels slightly sticky like Steve71 (a fossil hunter from around here mentioned) I thought it was ivory too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
