jodowinn Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 We found this near Turtle River State Park outside of Grand Forks, ND. I'm thinking it's a Buffalo, Bison, or Cow molar but I'm unsure with the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I think it's a bison deciduous tooth based on the slender form and the striations in the enamel. 4 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodowinn Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 Could possibly be a moose? What would cause it to turn black if not natural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Not a cervid tooth; it's a bovid tooth. Color depends on the local depositional conditions. 3 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
