barefootgirl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That's pretty cool. I can't wait to see what it is.

tracer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 isn't there a marine barnacle type thingee that looks like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simongirty Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks for the replies folks. It was found in Southern Illinois. I don't have a clue about the age, but I did find what I was told was a Pleistocene horse tooth and a bison tooth near where this was found. Its very strange because it looks like it grew straight out of the jaw, but the grinding surface thats designed like a mastodons tooth, is on the back side.

tracer Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 i'm not seeing the usual functional morphologies of a tooth...cutting surfaces, tearing surfaces, chewing surfaces... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 This was post on a treasure hunting form as a tooth. I don't see a tooth.

barefootgirl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) I agree with Tracer that it looks like a type of barnacle.

fossil fury Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 At first I saw a tooth, but when the other guys posted I saw a barnacle. Possibly the rough edges were for gripping? “There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers.
