GML Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I am new to this forum and have very little knowledge of fossils. I would like to know if this rock that I found several years ago in northwest Wisconsin is a fossil or just an interesting rock. Thank you.

Thomas.Dodson Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I agree with ThePhysicist, this is just an interesting rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Does look like a tooth, cool shaped rock. Lacking enamel on the crown. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Yup, lacking enamel, bone/root texture, and overall, genuine tooth morphology. Neat look-alike, though. Always better to pick it up and find out is a rock, than to leave it and find it was a fossil! 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
