i found this tooth in a ditch near summerville. it was laying on the bottom and im not sure what the different formations look like. it was a lot of whitish rocks sitting on top of light colored clay in the banks and the same clay on the bottom of the creek/ditch. from what i looked up the hawthorne formation was around the area but i dont know too much still new at this. is this an angustidens? its over 3 1/2 inches. and the root looks different than the others i found but ive never found one over 3. thought maybe it was an auriculata after looking at some pictures.

Believe it is Angustidens with a little patho to the blade, the blade and dental band have some deformity. Nice find, Summerville are produces some very nicely preserved and colorful teeth
