Gomp maybe?

[J.D.]

Hi, All!  My name is JD.  I am from Pittsburgh, PA.  Was visiting Edisto last year and found this weird fossil.  Have been struggling to ID.  This was my first fossil hunt since I was a kid living in Beaufort.  P.S.  I did properly report this to SC and was properly licensed

 

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Milk tooth?

[Harry Pristis]

It appears to be a partial loph from an adult gomphothere.  Half a loph is better than none.

@abyssunder  That’s what I had recently been told.  So it seems plausible.  Thanks.

@Harry Pristis  So you are thinking more mature than a milk tooth?  Ok, that is interesting.  Also laughed out loud at the pun!  Anyway, glad I held my ground we folks were telling me it was nothing!  Thanks.
