Fin Lover Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I found this tooth (half) in a pleistocene lag deposit outside of Summerville, SC. A local guide, author, etc. said it was a fish tooth, but he couldn't remember off the top of his head what kind. Is anyone able to ID it, or is "fish tooth" the closest I can get? Thank you! 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Fin Lover Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 Sorry for not including measurements. It's 6 mm long x 2 mm wide. I guess that would be a baby, if a gator?

Al Dente Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I agree that it is a fish tooth, but don’t know the species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
