Mastodon tooth enamel?

Here’s another find from the same north Texas creek. I’m thinking it’s a fragment of mastodon tooth enamel.

Most definitely! And beautiful color as well! Those things must be as brittle as egg shells--very difficult to get anything close to a complete tooth if it has come out of the formation and rolled around in the water for any distance.

 

 

Cheers.

You should look at @Foshunter‘s gallery. He has a large mastodon jaw section with teeth in it from the NSR. We aren’t finding anything like that now days in the NSR. He has a lot of amazing finds.

That is definitely an amazing find!

I was at the NSR this past weekend and only found a few partial verts and some fossilized wood.
