Shellseeker Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 As noted in another thread, I purchased 5 pre-Equus teeth from a hunting friend, who used to work as a dragline operator in a Bone Valley Phosphate Mine. There were evidently perks of such a job. While looking at the horse teeth, I saw what I believed to be a miniature Mastodon tooth with some roots and a little bit of jaw material. I thought TFF members would appreciate seeing it as much as I did. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plantguy Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hey Jack, yep, that is a little gem. Thanks for showing us. I needed a real break from some serious hurricane prepping and this fits the bill--so thank you! Be safe! Regards. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Thanks to all -- it is a gem. Makes me dream of a collection that I would have had If I had worked in the phosphate mines in the 1960s-1990s. Chris, I was foolish enough to try and kayak (forget hunting) last Sunday. This is Paynes Creek !!!! Never reached the Peace River.
