I found a few things today, Sunday, I'll be posting... here's the first. I was wondering if anyone is able to tell if this is enamel fragment is from a mammoth or a mastodon?  It has a nice color... but I've never found a complete tooth to either... only small fragments. Found on a river gravel bank. 

Thanks.

The lines in picture five, six, and seven make me think mammoth.  Looks like a plate fragment to me.  But others more familiar with mastodon may have a more informed opinion.

Very pretty!  The texture looks like a mammoth plate. The white edges are throwing me off. I usually see those on mastodon teeth.
