cash-zeke Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Hi! I found this on the beach off the coast of South Carolina! I think it is an alligator tooth or at least some kind of tooth and would like some help identifying it please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 We could use some close up pictures of the opposite side, the top, and the bottom, please. I took the liberty of cropping and brightening your original picture.

SailingAlongToo Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Definitely need clear, crisp, close up photos of all sides and ends in order to make an ID.

cash-zeke Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Okay so the top photo is the bottom, the second photo is of the side, and the bottom photo is of the top to show that it is hollow on the inside. Hopefully this is actually some sort of tooth otherwise I am just embarrassing myself...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is actually some sort of tooth otherwise I am just embarrassing myself...! The more I stare at this .. the more I'm convinced it is a worn Bivalve hinge .. from an oyster perhaps. And please don't worry ... I embarrass myself on a daily basis. Cheers, Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
