Tooth Identification Help

Recommended Posts

Hi again fellow fossil-lovers! I was fortunate enough to come across this beauty at a yard sale so no known origin of course. Ok, here's the fun part... To me, in my amateurish-style expertise, it looks like a Mastadon tooth, however, it appears WAY too white & clean in my opinion to be as old as claimed by geologic history. Can someone help me out here? Do I have a Mastadon tooth? An "Old Asian" Elephant? It's certainly not a replica, that much I know for sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated & thank you to everyone who's helped me in my previous threads. You're all an awesome bunch!

Thanks, it did to me too. Just too "clean". Kinda threw me off a bit. Most I've seen are more heavily stained/darker.

I’d agree with Mastodon too.

Nice acquisition! It could be lighter based on formation where it was found

lol, I paid .50¢. The lady said it was her husband's (deceased) & that she was going to just throw it away if no one bought it.
