Shellbelle Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Theese teeth are so old the canines have actually bent over and the teeth have actually turned to quartz. Any help with identification would greatly be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Welcome to the fossil forum!! Unfortunately this is just a odd shaped piece of quartz from a vein with some crystallized area.

Shellbelle Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Not just an odd shaped rock if you look carefully between the two "rocks" you can actually see part of the tooth that didn't fossilyze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Unfortunately, it isn't bone or enamel in the little opening. Just some matrix. It's a quartz cobble, and not a tooth. Sorry - keep looking. Regards, Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Shellbelle Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Also I know the feel of enamel and these definitely feel like enamel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmaier Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Third opinion... Definitely milky quartz and not tooth enamel. They do both feel the same, having that sooth and slick surface. We all end up with these pseudofossils in our collecting. Some of them can look shockingly real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
