Cachersusie Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 We found this in the gravel bed of a creek today in Grayson County, TX. I'm assuming it's a wild boar tusk. What do you guys think? Is it most likely old or modern? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Yes, I think you're right Looks like a boar's tusk to me. And fairly recent, I would say. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did cross my mind at first that it might have been some sort of talon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingAlongToo Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Imagine, turning the corner in the stream bed and the owner of that tusk is standing there, 10 feet from you, and he's hungry............
