Danielb Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I found this a while ago in peace river, at first I thought it could be a dugong rib but posted it on Facebook and some said it could be giant sloth tooth Megalonyx jeffersonii - just wondering if that’s what it could be? I did some more research and went to a museum they said it could be the canine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbshark Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I’d say it’s a piece of bone 1 Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digit Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yup. No spongy cancellous center (solid through) which indicates a small dugong rib bone. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
