Mastodon tooth enamel?

Recommended Posts

I took a trip to the North Sulphur River this past weekend and this was the first thing I found. It looks like Mastadon tooth enamel to me but I’ve never found any, so I could wrong.

Any input is much appreciated. I’ll be posting more things I found while on my trip. Thank’s.

I would say you got it pretty good.

Now get out there and find the rest of that bad boy!

Haha! I’d love to be able to find the rest.

However, I live about 4 hours south of the NSR and only get to make the trip a couple times a year. If I lived near by I’d be in there every day.

Looks like a mammoth enamel frag to me as opposed to mastodon.

I was leaning that way, too. But no real doubt that it's proboscidean. And cool.

A very nice find for any collection.  Few things conjure up images quite like holding a bit-o-mammoth!

I would say mammoth over mastodon as well:)

Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

I'll go with mammoth tooth plate fragment on this one.
