Stan Simpson Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've posted photos of 5 fossils which were found in a dredge operation near Houston Texas. I think the large one is a fragment of a mammoth tooth but I really don't know just what the others are. They may all be fragments of teeth but I could use some help to identify them. Thanks for your time and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Pic #3 looks like a chunk of mastadon tooth. Pic#4 looks toothy....maybe chunk of bovid tooth. Pic #5 looks like a mammoth tooth plate. Wait for others' opinions..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Could you post an end view of the opposite side of the last specimen (lower-right part)?

abyssunder Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thank you for the pictures. Hmm... It's not what I've expected to see in my thought. The reticular structure of the end-view is suggesting me a geological origin. 2 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

ynot Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I agree that the last pictures show a geologic and not a fossil. Tony 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
