Possible tooth?

Recommended Posts

Found this in a river a few years ago, and liked to believe it is a tooth. However unsure of true identification, and its very possible its just a stone. The base however looks similar to how a tooth does below the gum line, with pronounced difference in textures, which has led meto belive it maybe more than a rock. Please help. I can supply better images if needed.

Can You post pictures of the sides and back?

Does not look quite right for a tooth, but other pictures may tell a different story.

No tooth there. There is no enamel or root/bone textures.

It is a suggestively shaped rock. 

Mother nature is a joker, I think.

I thought that it was probably  just wishful thinking. Thanks for the information!

Nature likes to try and fool People with all sorts of odd shaped rocks.

There are a lot of threads here that are just suggestive rocks, and We have all picked them up at one time or another.

Yours is a nice "tooth" (or claw) imitation.

Do some research on the geology of Your area and look for the type of fossils found in the area. This will help You to find and recognize what is a fossil.

Good luck on the hunt!

I agree with the others. It is a suggestively shaped rock, as Tim said, like the one from my avatar. :)

It's either a bone or more possibly a stone that was eroded by water. Don't worry I always misidentify stuff it happens to everyone.
