RCW3D Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Took a quick trip to the Potomac today and grabbed something that I thought was a croc tooth when I saw it, after grabbing it I didn't quite know what it was. All my other croc teeth from the Potomac are round, this is oval. The lack of an actual point makes me wonder if it is just a bone. Any ideas? Upper left corner.

ynot Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Looks like a piece of a rib bone to Me. Nice teeth finds! Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

RCW3D Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I kind of wondered if it was a piece of rib too Tony...but the other rib bones I have found in this area don't have the hollow end. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The grainy texture says "bone" to me. Not sure what bone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is the marrow has worn down to make it look hollow. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

MarcoSr Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Rob Definitely not a croc tooth. I agree that the specimen looks like a piece of bone from the texture.
