Mupps Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Found this little gem, amongst some gar scales. And ideas? Alberta Badlands Edited May 9, 2023 by Mupps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I am thinking that what you have is actually the root of a tooth. The "tooth" is broke off. What size is this? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Another possibility is a broken tine from a deer antler. We find those down here in the Peace River from time to time. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mupps Posted May 9, 2023 Author Share Posted May 9, 2023 It’s about 1cm long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Ah, this is why scale is important. Difficult to judge the size of objects from photos alone without a good scale. Unless you've discovered a new species of nano-deer, I rescind my guess. Pointy end could have a tiny enameled cap which could be indicative of a small fish tooth. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Not sure what it is, have found similar ones in the Hell Creek, I dont believe its a tooth but bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy_Fossils Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Do you have any idea on which formation it was found in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I have no idea what this is. I may have seen similar but that doesn't mean I know what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy_Fossils Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 This is just a guess based on size, but maybe part of a mammal rib? Not really good at identifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
