bone2stone Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 First of all: Welcome to The Fossil Forum. You did the just as you should have done and included scaling in you photo (metric.) Good job. Hope to see more specimens of this nature. Maybe not fossil but it is not so recent as to be within the last several years. Age may be within the realm of 1000's to 10,000's of years. IMHO-Portion of antler. Possibly from a species of Deer. First pic is a little strange though. At first glance it looks to be a solid piece of stone. But later pics shows internal structure that would resemble a tine from deer antler. Most deer antler I am familiar with has pulpy interior solidifying as the tine grows narrow at the tip. Deer antler not tooth. Jess B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
