SharkToothLover757 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I found this piece this past weekend. I’m not sure what it is..? Possibly fossilized bone but the consistency is so hard it looks more like a mineral to me? The middle is a beautiful tan, almost shiny metallic color at the right angle. Anyone know what it is?!

caldigger Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If it weren't so darn long I'd say a piece of Mastodon tooth. But the length is throwing me off. Could be tusk ( incisor), I just can't see it that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Could we get pics of the other end & a closer, well lit one of the 3rd pic please? Also, measurements can help as well.

abyssunder Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It looks like a partial tooth, to me.
