sharko69 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 My wife, son, and I took the dogs to the beach tonight. I was made promise that I would not hunt for shark teeth on the walk. I guess I kept my promise. Found this horse tooth instead. First I have found on the island. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's a nice lower tooth too. You should give it a coating of Butvar or Paraloid solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 You don't want "a coating" of consolidant; you want a soak. Equus horse teeth are notoriously prone to falling apart given enough time. These teeth, too, were really solid at one time: 3 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwfornow Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Wow! My first trip to Galveston will be in about 3 weeks, now I’m getting excited! May I ask what part of the island your horses tooth came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
