hokietech96 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hi everyone. It has been way to long since I posted anything. Life has been crazy for me. I still stalk the forum everyday. Went hunting this morning for the first time since the summer. I have something that really looks like a tooth. Parts of it do and others parts does not. Really need other opinions on this one. I put it under the microscope because I just cant determine what it is. I hope it is something. Thank you for taking a look! Hope everyone is well.

fossilus Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 If I found this, the first thing I would think would be a tine off a deer antler. It's hard to tell from your photos what the base looks like, but I don't really see and tooth enamel on the point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokietech96 Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Same here about the enamel. It is definitely something though. There is one patch that looks like enamel…. Maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want our finds to be something and I’m just hoping m not crazy. Haha. I really think it’s something. But if not Eagles win the Super Bowl tomorrow and I’m happy either way!!
