Taffie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Found in Summerville SC creek. Is it modern or fossil and who does it belong to? It's 5 1/4 inches long and probably oligocene if it's a fossil. Thanks for looking. Taffie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I think that 'Foshunter' is correct . . . Sus scrofa.

Auspex Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks you guys, my first piggy find. Now, how can I tell if it's a fossil or if it's modern? It can be no older than European settlement.

Taffie Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thanks again everyone. Even though it's not a fossil, it's still pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
