Fossildude19 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Welcome to the Forum. Where was this found? What is the size of the item? This doesn't look like a fossil to me, and it's definitely not a conodont. It looks geologic in nature, rather than biologic.

ClearLake Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 4 hours ago, Donna Straw said: This is a section of a mammoth tooth badly eroded. Unfortunately, I don't think that is any more correct than conodont. I believe the suggestion several years ago of small iron concretions in sandstone is more likely accurate. Any indication on the other side of what you think you are seeing? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
