Barasingha Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Is it common for an alligator or crocodile tooth to change texture and get smaller at the end like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is unusual is the apparently uniform circumferential loss of the surface layer of enamel near the tip. My guess is that the damage didn't happen in life. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
