Shellseeker Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Mammoth teeth are huge. and seem to be made of plates stuck together with a Dentin "glue". The plates split apart over time in the rough and tumble floods in the Peace River. You have found approximately 25% of a plate. All decent sized plate pieces are good finds. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/42212-fantastic-results/ The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I agree, it's a mammoth tooth plate. You could compare also with these plates, although these are from Mammuthus primigenius.

I usually just wash Peace River finds with a toothbrush and water. Otherwise keep it like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
