Shannon Heironimus Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have just started this new venture in my life and these are what have started it. My great grandmother traveled back and forth from Indiana, Florida and Arizona. So these could have been found in those locations. She always looked for Indian artifacts on her own in her travels. I've had these in a box in storage forever and was looking through them and thought these may be shark teeth, maybe used by Indians. Opinions?

Fossildude19 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Welcome to the Forum. These look like water worn bone chunks, to me. The one in the lower right might be a very very worn tooth. More pictures of each side would be needed. Wait for some others to weigh in, though.

Macrophyseter Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I would agree that the lower right might be a worn tooth. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I could actually believe that all but the one in the lower right are shark teeth. These are a few teeth a friend gave me that were collected back in the 60s on Venice Beach, Florida. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Heironimus Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks so much for the information. My grandmother said the larger one was an Indian hatchet, was confused on the hole in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I agree that the top 2 and lower right are very (very) worn shark teeth. The "hole" in the larger one is from a burrowing clam or worm. The lower left is to worn to make a call, could be bone chip or tooth. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

hahnewald Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Agree with @ynot. Top left seems to have traces of enamel layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
