Recommended Posts

I can’t be 100 percent sure of the age of the deposit from where these Bison tooth came from. But it would almost certainly fall into a late Holocene early Pleistocene era.

I agree! :)

If I remember correctly, I have seen this color on proboscidean tusks (e.g. mammoth tusk) and it was associated with Vivianite and dentin.
