Jiky1516 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I would love input as to what this tooth may be. Found in the St. John's river (actually my toes found it). The folds and whatnot just piqued my curiosity as I have never seen a tooth like this. It's small and flat and I can only guess it came from a mammal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cris Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Looks like Sus scrofica, a pig to me. That would also mean that it was not a fossil since they are not originally from here, they were introduced by man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rejd Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I may be dating myself with this.
