LJM Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (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 by LJM Added photos Link to post Share on other sites
HuckMucus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (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 by HuckMucus Link to post Share on other sites

HuckMucus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 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 post Share on other sites
Harry Pristis Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 It's a corroded deer antler tine tip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
val horn Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 when you see bone in the center you prove that it can not be a tooth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
