GroundViewer Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Hi, I recently found what I believe to be a baby croc tooth at green mill run north Carolina. I was hoping someone might be able to confirm my suspicions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Confirmation is over my head, but I agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 It looks more like a fish tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcoSr Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I agree with fish tooth. Unless the specimen is the broken off very top of a much larger croc tooth crown, the specimen would be hollow at the base if croc. Marco Sr. 1 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

If it looks like a fish tooth as is there probably is no need to craft one from a croc tooth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundViewer Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 I will try to add a better picture of the top. It is not exactly hallow but there is a slight dimple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen of crocodilian teeth from anywhere, you don't see enamel worn off so cleanly all around it. You would see the tooth more beat-up than that with maybe a spot of enamel showing somewhere or it would be more chipped all around. It looks like a fish tooth to me as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
