digit Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Yup. Has the feeling of a really worn gastropod shell to me as well. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva213 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 it's about 1.5 inches. But it has two very different textures. The ppart looks like the tooth is very smooth and somewhat glossy. The rest is porous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The glossy part is the shell and the porous part is the sand that the shell was buried in. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
