KATYTXHUNTER Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Found this in the Brazos River near Waco along the bank. I believe that this crosshatching that I see would make this a mammoth or mastodon right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'd think so. The curvature of the piece looks right and the cross-hatchings sure to look like Schreger lines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schreger_line Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sseth Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 The Schreger lines are a bit worn, but they are there. Great find. _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Looks like a proboscidean tusk fragment.

Ptychodus04 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Chiming in with a +1 on the tusk frag ID! Very nice.
