Nero Wolfe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi All I found this at a beach in Norfolk, UK. It looks like a tooth with a broken tip but I may just be hoping lol. It was dug from the bottom of some cliffs where a mammoth was found in the 90s I believe. Any help would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Doesn't resemble a tooth to me other than the general shape. Perhaps a bone if sorts. Let's wait for others from your area that may be more familiar with bits from that locale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Wolfe Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have just been reading about enamel caldigger, I can't see any so I think you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimin013 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 My opinion is that this is not a tooth therefore could be a bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'll go with the others. It so could be a mammoth bone. I've taken the liberty to crop and enlighten a little your pics.

ynot Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think this is a chert nodule, not a bone. It has a very strange shape for bone and there is no internal structures of bone visible.
