jpwhite82 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hey everyone, I was hoping that I could get some input as to what species this could be from. My personal opinion is saw fish rostral tooth but it always helps to get a second opinion. I found it in the Greens Mill Run in Greenville, NC. Thanks for taking a look!

Fossildude19 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hyperostotic ("Tilly") fish bone, perhaps.

RickNC Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 It reminds me of a sawfish rostral tooth. A very worn one missing most of the crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'd agree with Rick NC. A badly worn Ischyrhiza mira. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hmmm. I had considered that, but thought that the base looked too compressed for a sawfish rostral. Oh well - you locals would know better than I.

Plax Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 it's the worn condition that's throwing you off. We could be wrong though of course because a worn fossil is best judged in hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
