Greens Mill Run (& unknown mammal tooth?)

Recommended Posts

Went back to Greens Mill Run with some more time for the second time this week. Found way more sharks teeth this time including some pretty exciting crow shark teeth. Need some help identifying this tooth or bone of some sort that is unbeknownst to me.

Not a real tooth. These are called "Emmon's Teeth" and are actually Tilly bones - hyperostotic fish bones.
