Hello, I hope that I'm doing this right. I was recently rock hunting in Kansas City, Mo and found these teeth. They were on the surface in a limestone formation on the side of a hill. I'm just wondering if someone could tell me something about them?

They are definitely not limestone, they were covered with limestone. I buffed it off. They are so hard that sandpaper wont even scratch them. They are definitely a fossil of some kind.

To be sure you could put a drop of vinegar on it (or stick it in vinegar but it may cause discolouration). If it fizzes, its most likely limestone.

I am very familiar with limestone, and they are not limestone. I have hunted Indian artifacts all of my life. These things are harder than flint. They are not suggestively shaped limestone, I guarantee it. These also came from the same place.
