Fossiljones Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for the positive ID everyone! I'm happy to learn it's something a little out of the ordinary! I love the colors of this tooth which you can see most clearly in the last photo. The particular dive site where I found this tooth produces fossils in quite a variety of beautiful colors.
