CanadaFossil Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 This tooth arrived in a box of rocks and minerals from an estate auction. Any help in identifying it would be most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFossil Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Thank you Kane. That is fascinating. It makes sense as there was also a large coral in the box as shown below. Thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
