Tooth ID

[laabsher]

Hello, 

 

My family has come across a tooth that was found in West Virginia or Virginia. It was purchased at a yard sale from the person who found it. Supposedly, a large molar was found with it. I have a feeling it's fake, but hoping I'm wrong. It was given to us for free and the person believes it to be a "Bigfoot tooth."

 

Due to my photos exceeding the size limit, here is all of them. Link is to Imgur.

Hi!

 

I'm sorry, but I have the feeling this is just a rock shaped like a tooth, I don't think this is a fossil tooth at all... Definitely not a Bigfoot tooth, because he's still alive!

 

Best regards,

 

Max

I agree with Max-fossils that it's not a tooth. Sorry! It could be a cast of a bivalve that's been worn. The two protrusions on the left side and a slight hint of a seam on the front toward the right suggests a bivalve cast to me.

Welcome to the Forum.  

 

I've posted the pictures here for continuity.

 

   

 

     

 

 

 

I agree, not a tooth - no root material, and no enamel to indicate a tooth. Looks like an interestingly worn piece of chert, to me.

Geologic in origin, not biologic, in my opinion.

Thanks for the replies! I didn't think it was real since it does feel...weird, I guess you'd say.

Definitely not a tooth. Keep looking.

It's easy to be confused when it comes to Bigfoot teeth. I quickly found a REAL picture of a Bigfoot tooth on the internet for you as a reference...

Is that Sus bigfoothensis (abyssunder, 2016) ?
just kidding...

Seriously : The only thing that I could consider to be vaguely similar would be a partially echinoid peristome region in a hardly weathered condition, but with other dimensions. I would agree that is just a sedimentary rock with nice resemblance to something that I said or totally different.
