LJM Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) It’s lighter in weight than I would expect for a tooth of that size. Found in the Peace River in Wauchula, Florida. Thanks. Edited April 23, 2022 by LJM Added photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuckMucus Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Antler tip? Horn core tip? It's probably too small for the later. The photo leaves a lot to be desired. Edited April 23, 2022 by HuckMucus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuckMucus Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 They help a little, but I'm not an expert on fossilized bone or antler. The end-on view of the break looks like the interior of bone/core/antler, but I'm not sure. As to general morphology, I would say it's too small for a horn core tip. Horn cores tend to be more robust. It looks like the tip of a brow tine (elk) with that terminal flip. I stand to be corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 It's a corroded deer antler tine tip. 2 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 when you see bone in the center you prove that it can not be a tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
