Roz Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 One fantastic looking tooth. I have only seen one that looks like that in a book, but will have to look again to be sure. The root is as shiny as the enamel. Congratulations on such a cool find. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Drop-dead awsome! Take it to an elementary school and tell the kids that lions stalked their neighborhood once. I can see all the wide-eyed stares. Few would forget it, and some will have discovered a new hobby.

PrehistoricFlorida Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Nope, already gone. If it had been a canine, yes I probably would have kept it. It's okay, I got me a keeper point yesterday. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
