Sanrique Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 My son and I discovered this a few weeks ago while metal detecting. Didn’t realize what it was at first but knew it was something important 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scylla Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I'm always scanning the ground in Houston for fossils when I visit my son at college, the best I've seen are oysters and gastropods. Congrats on a great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkdoctor Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Amazing find! I wonder if the rest of the beastie is nearby where you found this tooth. It is in such great shape that I suspect it may have moved far from the rest of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplomado Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Awesome! (I once thought I found a mammoth tooth, but it turned out to be an old car fuel filter ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
