Mankind00 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I work for an ecological restoration company and I work in rivers all the time. I find weird things from time to time, but I am stumped. Please help I know it’s a “petrified tooth” but I don’t know what it is from. Any ideas?

caldigger Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Please show a picture looking straight on to the chewing surface. Lots of teeth look similar from the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Welcome to the Forum, Where was this found? State, County, town What are it's measurements? As Doren already mentioned, pictures of the chewing surface from directly above would be helpful. I took the liberty of cropping, brightening and enlarging your photos. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Mankind00 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 Thank you! It was found 3 miles east of Granite Falls MN, in Renville County. The chewing surface measures 1”X1.25”. And it measures 2” tall. Thanks for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankind00 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I think it maybe from a cow but thought it was a little big. Does anyone have an idea of how long it would have to be I water for it to be petrified like that? A year or 50 years? That is what I found so interesting.

Fossildude19 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Have you tried to hold a flame to the root? Does it smell, or burn?
