Macrophyseter Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I don't see any tooth here, it could be geological like a concretion or a burrow cast. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Looks like it could be some sort of iron but no not a tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 There is no enamel, no root structure, no tooth morphology, no serrations. I agree, it appears to be an ironstone/limonite concretion.

If we have a better locality we can then look at the rocks and formations in the area to help give a better ID to your rock. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably is a very slim chance of it. Concretion does nucleate on biologic items sometimes. The odds of it being proven are even slimmer though I'm afraid.
