meg.cu Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 My buddy just pulled this Gomphotherium Tooth out of a river in South Carolina about 3 hrs ago. Thought it was nice enough find to show to you guys. Super rare from the Low Country. It also looks as if something is imbedded in the tooth. 5.5" long x 3"wide. weight 3lbs 1 "Message me for info on Fossil Collecting in Cuba.

mossyfern9564 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's amazing. I wonder if that's something embedded or if the enamel (or enamel equivalent) has chipped and/or eroded there? In the second photo there appears to be a bump on the section just behind the "pebble"; perhaps it's similar but has lost its surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
