Fossildude19 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Not a tooth, but a Belemnite. The radial calcitic structure is a dead giveaway, as well as the hole in the center for the phragmocone. 2 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilNerd Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I agree with @Fossildude19. Belemnite for all the reasons he listed. 26 minutes ago, Steven Joseph said: A cephalopods… cool will pass that onto my nephew… he would love it fora first fossil! Thank you for the quick response Not a bad first fossil at all! 1 The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
