Cetacean tooth fragment?

Recommended Posts

Here we go again!

 

found in the same conglomerate facies of the Vaqueros is this weird tooth(?). To be honest I’m not even sure its tooth, could be a small piece of bone. BUT it does have an distinct piece of enamel(?) near one of the tips.

 

Unfortunately rarely any teeth here have been found whole. But I will keep looking!

 

hoping you people with more experience can help solve another mystery!

This one I'm gonna say bone. Even if it was a worn cetacean tooth, the roots don't look similar to other bone chunks, they're usually much more solid. So I think the "enamel" is just a particularly worn area of the bone. I honestly don't even see the enamel.
