Bill Arf Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I found this fossil while digging an utility ditch in Denison TX. It was approximately 3' deep setting on very hard rock hard pan. It looks for the world like a human canine tooth except it is 9" long and seems to be made of very hard rock. Can anyone help ID it?

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Yeah, my poor old eyeses can just about make out what looks like a dark grey pebble with white bits in.

rocket Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 for my opinion it does not look like a tooth, but hard to decide. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaarger Pictures can help thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If You can post pictures that are around 1 megabyte each, it will help us to see what You have. As it is the pictures are to small for a good view. You may need to retake the pictures as enlarging them now will not show any detail. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

ynot Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Much better pictures! Thanks. I have to agree that this is a non fossil rock. But it is not "just a rock".

By using this app. You reduce the view size of each picture. It is much better to post pictures that are 1 megabyte or larger and use the "reply" to add additional pictures. 1 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."
