New Members bosberg Posted June 20, 2023 New Members Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Hello- I just joined; I've been reading this site for a while as I seek info when I find a potential fossil. Today, I was rock picking and found teeth. I figured cow teeth. A man there, asked about them and he said, they are ancient bison teeth, he said they'd be thousands of yrs old, citing the stylid and the blueish color on the tooth as evidence. Intrigued, and knowing he could be wrong or pulling my leg- I Googled to determine if he could be right. I've read other topics about this on this site. I am still not sure what I have found. Either way, it must be very old - the top above the teeth are very hard, maybe petrified, if that is a thing in something like this. I found it in the Blue Earth river, Mn. Here is today's find- feel free to comment if you have an opinion on them. Also, no matter what they are from, does anyone have suggestions for cleaning them up a bit?
