Partial Tusk?

Recommended Posts

I am relatively new to fossiling, but I am excited that on my second trip out I found something very interesting. I found either a metatarsal from some land based animal or a tusk. Its very oval and some kind of enamel that is about  1/4 in thick.

Found in Alafia River, Polk County, FL

i dont know what you have,  it is certainly large.  To me the center patterning looks like bone, therefore It can not be a tusk.     I am wondering if it is half of a half a  bison metatarsal/ canon bone.
