gmanp135 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hello everyone,here is another piece I could use someone's expertise on also found in Missouri,the cigarette is for perspective to give an idea of its size,it measures, 4 1/2"x 2"x 2 3/4",(LxWxH) ,it's color ranges from shades of gray to off white,and it has what I would call ridges or bands,it is extremely hard and I am unable to scratch it with a stainless knife,it resembles a large tooth to me,but I am new to this and it is possible it is just a rock,any input is welcome as I am here to learn,thanking everyone in advance. gmanp135 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Welcome to the forum! I believe that the item here is a geological piece. 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...
ynot Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Welcome to TFF! Looks like a metamorphic rock, no fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Innocentx Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I think sedimentary rock or glacial erratic(metamorphic) if from northern Missouri. Metamorphic rocks were pushed down(south) by glaciers. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
