Shellbelle Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 These teeth are so old they have mineralized and turned to rock. I put them on here many months ago but people thought they were just a rock so I polished them for months and had some other people look at them and agreed they are teeth but I haven't had any info given on them. Your input would be grateful. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieira Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Better pictures will help. The pictures are blurred and not let see the "fossil" details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm going to have to go with this not being a tooth. I don't see anything resembling tooth roots. And the color is odd. Better pictures might change my mind, but right now I am only seeing a quartz-quartzite pebble.

Still a quartz pebble, and not a tooth. Were any of the people you talked to paleontologists? Or even fossil collectors? I have a hard time believing any trained scientist would call this rock a tooth.

Kane Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Alas, it was not an issue of polishing as the detail was already apparent in your April 2016 post to determine it was not a fossil.
