fossilized6s Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 A 12' tusk would be a welcomed sight in my sifter! ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 That is so cool... I get dismayed looks from my fishing buddies when, instead of fishing, they find me walking along an exposed gravel bank, head down, looking for what-ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Wild is right. The Tucson fossil show has a number of dealers that sell beautiful carvings made from these tusks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcbshark Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Man that would be the find of a lifetime! If it makes you feel any better Jack I think jewelry quality shark teeth fetch about 60 bucks/lb Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!
