Jbenton Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hi found in the peace river in Florida. I think it may be a tooth as there is enamel on the end with the opening. The pointy areas also look interesting. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Looks like a bit of mammoth enamel. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Yes, I posted an image of an enamel plate from a mammoth tooth. My example is from Silver Springs, Florida. The cementum which holds these plates together didn't survive, but the much harder enamel and dentine of the plate remained intact. 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...
