jbenn57 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I'm hoping to get some help identifying what appears to be a tooth that we found while digging at the Fossil Museum in Aurora, NC. My first thought was that it looked like an alligator tooth, but I am unsure. Please let me know if you need another picture with more lighting.

Fossildude19 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Better, more in focus pictures might help, but right now I'd say either a fish tooth, or croc/gator. Cropped and brightened: Can't see enough detail here to make a determination. I'd like to see pictures of both sides, front and back, top, and bottom.

NatalieP Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Almost positive it's a worn down fossil crab claw. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Looks like a fish tooth with some wear to the tip. Maybe something similar to a Tautog. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
