Nfp325 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) found this tooth in summerville, sc while looking for megalodon teeth, it definitely looks like a tooth but maybe its part of a tusk or something? Im not a pro at all but i am like 90% sure that the darker spots(spots that are almost blackish) look to be part of the enamel. When i found it there was only part of it becoming unearthed but the rest popped out fairly easy but was in bottom of a creek in extremely hard clay/sand. You can see the part that has been exposed to sun, the other side I cleaned a little with a tooth brush. Would appreciate some help identifying it, thank you!

Darktooth Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 When I saw the top pic I was thinking whale. But then I saw the bottom pic and now I'm not sure. I haven't seen any that come to a point like that. Hopefully someone with knowledge of the area will chime in. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Shellseeker Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Just some questions that may or may not help. How long is the fossil? Seems like whale from tip but Whale has a hollow root end like this: Does yours? We are likely just eliminating whale as a probable ID The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nfp325 Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) it is just shy of 4" and not hollow at all it is completely solid. Im not sure if it helps but its not round, well not completely round at least, there are 3 distinct edges that go to the tip if that makes any sense to you.

Past Hunter Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Could it be a partial Saber tooth? "If you choose not to decide. You still have made a choice." - Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
