vicvavoom Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 my son found this at a beach while we were vacationing in Riveria Maya Mexico. we all think it looks like a tooth but it feels like a rock. it's about 4 - 5 inches long (about 12cm). here are the pictures.

ynot Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looks like a piece of limestone. Is not a tooth, just shaped like one (sort of). Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Fossildude19 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. I see no enamel present, no root like structure, or tooth morphology. I have to agree this is a geologic item, and not a fossil.

The second photo down shows the 'cracks' looking much like ichnofossils of something like a boring bryozoan or possibly sponge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
