Ethan_Y23 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I have found this tooth back around christmas of 2021 in the creeks of Fort Gibson, Oklahoma and i just cannot seem to find out what it is. i’ve tried reverse image search and google but nothing pops up. My grandpa, who knows everything about the wilderness has no idea what it is. we were looking for arrowheads but i found this instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacha Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 It looks like it might be a deer hoof core, but need to see a picture of the wide end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not seeing a tooth, no enamel present. Not sure its a fossil. Better lit photos might change my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I think it is a solitary rugose 'horn coral', squashed at the top. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better lit photos might change my mind. i was just basing off of what it looked like. i live in FL so sharks teeth are things i find a lot and it just resembles a tooth to me.

Jared C Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Clear, close, bright photos of the base and the sides will help. In the photos you sent me on instagram, there seemed to be white peeking out that was curious. The brighter and closer the photos, the more likely we'll be able to judge whether enamel is present underneath (or if it's just the core of something). A "from the bottom view" like the third picture you sent me could help others too.

Jared C Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ok, on closer inspection the surface is too irregular to belong to a tooth, so I would have to agree with claw core or some rudist.
