Giddemyer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, Can someone help identify this tooth? Is it just from a cow? It is from a creek in the St Louis, MO area. I've had it since I was a kid and have always wondered what it is. Appreciate the feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
