Auspex Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 To me, it looks like some kind of mammal tooth root.

tracer Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 well, let's see. roz asked for a hint. hint...hint... ok, ok, i got one. here's the hint. you ready? nate and cris both seem to be qualified to perform prehistoric root canals. and auspex is qualified to assist as a consultant, and to make sure the patient has insurance. sorry auspex, but mammal enamel could have been a camel.

Auspex Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 sorry auspex, but mammal enamel could have been a camel. I knew it! I knew it! I knew it wasn't bird!!!

Roz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well the above posters would know, so it must be mammoth although it would be from the side of the tooth?

Frank Menser Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Actually No. It is a fossilized Roof Shingle... It's just pretending to be a Mammoth sliver. Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Just gotta' get to the root of the problem!

tracer Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 roz - it would be the tip of a root probably. dan - it is obvious that the water didn't have sufficient flouride in it back then in texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
