PODIGGER Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 So yesterday was a great day on the Peace River. I found what I believe (hope) is a Mammoth spit tooth. If not it's a nice chunk of tooth plates. I posted a quick shot that was somewhat blurry in the discussion section last night promising better pictures today. So, first an overall from yesterday's best finds then to four shots of what I hope will be confirmed as the spit tooth. Input is much appreciated!

Scylla Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Looks like it could be. @Harry Pristis would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PODIGGER Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Shellseeker & Scylla, Thank you for the information and the links to the prior threads. After reviewing them I am guessing this is not a spit tooth. I was quite surprised at the small size of some of the teeth you (Shellseeker) have found! Hopefully @Harry Pristis will provide his opinion on exactly what the specimen is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Not a spit tooth. It appears to be a chunk from tooth IV or V. 2 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...
