CindiF Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Found this yesterday at the peace river while sifting for sharks teeth. The bands are opaque and are actually lighter in color than the rest of the piece. 1 1/4 inches long 3/4 inch wide at widest point. Any information appreciated. 4 photos.

calhounensis Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Looks like a horse tooth. This one just tumbled a very long way downstream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindiF Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hmm interesting. Its really flat. I guess tumbling could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBOB Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I also think a very worn and water tumbled horse tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calhounensis Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It's lost a lot of its original shape from breaks, either before or during its trip down river. The rounded edges are the giveaway that it's been tumbled. Much like the rounded edges of river gravel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
