Dirtdog Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Found today in Bone Valley area of Florida. The material the tooth is embedded in looks like bone with a barnacle like shape. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaholic Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yours must have been a land find. Almost all the ones from the rivers are black. Fairly common, but yours is very nice with the contrasting unusual colors. "A man who asks is a fool for five minutes. A man who never asks is a fool for life".

digit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 And a darned nice one too. Great size and color on that. Wherever you were to find that, I'd consider going back and spending more time there. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Calvert Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Get a load of this stingray dermal denticle! At 1st, I thought it was half a walnut. But I reached down to pick it up. I live on a beach, in Calvert county Maryland, that produces fabulous fossil finds. Shortly after finding this, I found a fossil barb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
