John S. Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Went looking for arrowheads and didn't find much but this made up for it. Saw it in the water as I was about to leave. Ties my biggest tooth and much wider. This thing is a biggin!

sseth Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Great tooth. It looks to have a slight pathology at the tip. Is that the case or am I just not seeing the picture clearly? _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
