johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Found this today in a spot I usually find Pleistocene material. I have no idea if it's a tooth, part of a tooth, or it has something to do with perhaps a turtle shell or fish??? Thanks for any help. It's 1.25 inches in length and .75 inches wide. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Brandy Cole Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Mammoth milk tooth fragment?

Harry Pristis Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I agree, this is an enamel plate from a juvenile mammoth tooth. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
