Zenmaster6 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This was found in Florida. Unspecified location. It was pretty small but I wanted to know if it was a mammoth juvenile or not. I actually own a mammoth tooth and it looks very similar but it's so small I wasn't sure. Possibly one of those pygmy elephant things. If anyone knows PLEASE tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilus Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Looks like a juvenile mammoth, maybe a spit tooth? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don't think it's part of a spit tooth, but I haven't seen ALL spit teeth. This may be fragment of the end, anterior or posterior, of a larger tooth. Sometimes, the enamel plates at the margins of the tooth are split into shorter segments. That one complete plate in this fragment may represent a split plate at the end of a larger tooth. You can see several split plates in these two spit teeth: 1 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...
