Barasingha Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Not sure what this is if anything; maybe just shell, but hopefully not. It was found in a Miocene area. It is 1 1/8" X 1/2". It is 3/16" thick on one end. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Interesting find!!! But I can't help with the ID. "Without fossils, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the earth" - Georges Cuvier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Possibly a piece of sperm whale tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Can you possibly be not so vague in the location? It really hinders the ID detectives. At least narrow the possibilities to more than US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 could it be a barnacle piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 My guess is that's a fragment of a whale tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 We are all looking at those lines -- only tooth that exhibits them is marine mammal (whale, porpoise, dolphin) 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
