KrazyHorses Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It is about 1 3/8" long. The root slant and curve make me think of a canine. It came from North Port, Florida and was found in some gravel/crushed shell. My husband thought it might be a alligator tooth, but I don't think it looks conical. What do you think?

tracer Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 it's pretty worn but doesn't really look "toothy" at all to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricFlorida Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It does not appear to be a tooth. Looks like a polished bit of bone which can often take on the shape of other things. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
