Tarpon Girl Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hello, I found this item at Shark tooth beach on Jekyll Island, GA. I am not sure if this is a tooth or not. I would appreciate any input from the members of this forum. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I agree with Tony, shell fragment probably Oyster.

Fossildude19 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. What is the size of this item? Regards, After blowing up the photos a bit, I agree - it looks more like shell material than enamel.

On the bright side it does have the shape of a worn shark tooth, just not the right material / appearance. Tony Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

caldigger Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well if you are hunting a place called Shark Tooth Beach, there must be some to be found. Keep your eyes to the ground and once you find one they'll keep coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
