stytch Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Well, I have another one for you all to help me figure out. I found this one on a beach in New Jersey few years ago. Sorry if it's obvious, but I tried comparing and what not but i'm new to all of this and need a little help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 stytch.....If it is only a rock (FossilForum technical term JAFR)its certainly very strange.... It has the characteristics of maybe a broken chert/flint nodule maybe.... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cris Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I agree with the partial mastodon/gomph ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Larger pics would help a lot; something on the order of 1,000 pixels wide, so we can enlarge them for detail.

bear-dog Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Agree with partial mastodon tooth.Hate to think mother nature is that good at playing tricks for it to be a nodule.Nice find. Bear-dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stytch Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 I tried getting better pics, but they ended up blurry. Guess I need to get a better camera. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhk Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'm going out on a limb here. I do see a tooth here, a ridged molar with a partial root. I am going to say camel or llama, not horse for sure and not bolvine. Definately grazing tooth, plant eater. I think to small and ridged for Masterdon. Just a thought.

tracer Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 mastodon doesn't quite work for me. but it's close. the tooth is clearly a broken proboscidean tooth, but the lophs are split and kind of narrow in a way that doesn't quite jibe for me with mastodon, but on the other hand i'm not clearly seeing gomph either. where's them other floridian opinions? they see more nose hose critters than we texans...

jpc Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Defintely a large mammal tooth. Likely some sort of nose horse, I'd even say mastodon. But like tracer, I am no expert, they are too young for me to know too well. But if you call it a mastodon, I woukd be OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 ohhh, i'm probably being too picky. mastodon works for me fairly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy 55 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Compare yours to this Mastodon tooth in the back of the jaw. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dactyll Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Stytch.... You could always hold the camera farer away to take the photo, then just crop the photo afterwards. It should make the photo a little clearer... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
