dbrake40 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 More river finds in Minnesota. I'm fairly certain this is a mammoth tooth fragment. My buddy, (again!) see my previous post, found this on a gravel bar. I have to say this has me very excited to go hunt with him. The size is 6.5” X 3.75” X 1.5” and the layers fluoresce under UV light Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dbrake40 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Doesn’t it look like part of the jaw is still attached? In the fist pic you can see its like there are tooth roots sticking thru some other material… Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dbrake40 Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Does anyone know if its possible to age (approximate) a mammoth by the number/spacing of enamel ridge-plates in its teeth? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
