RiverHunter312 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 May I add my pareidolia-esque mis-identification here as well. Found this today on my hike (along Du Page river, Northern Illinois)and my first thought was "holy cow a dinosaur tooth!" and then my second thought was "no." But it was fun for a minute to pretend. It seemed to have an "enamel" layer on the base around the outside and such a great shape. Doubt you find those in Northern Illinois. It was near where I have been finding bison bits so maybe it could be a horn or something? Anyway, here are some pictures for fun : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekky Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not a tooth. I don't see fossil either. Just a suggestively shaped rock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yep, a rock. I don’t know Illinois’ geology that well, but you can check your chances of finding a dinosaur by taking at look at a geologic map. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
