Shellseeker Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Which end do you think is the root? It might be your last photo. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Well, hopefully other experienced in NC fossils will Chime in.. I think that there is a case to be made that this last photo shows the tip, broken off just above the enamel_root line. These are hard... to distinguish, about as hard as 1 inch canines from the Peace River. I would be thinking land mammal , not marine.

Al Dente Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Looks like the root of a small odontocete tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
