New Members courtmccutch Posted November 27, 2023 New Members Share Posted November 27, 2023 I found this about 20 years ago while playing in a mound of dirt that my Grandpa had dug when building his new house. The location was near a creek in north, central Arkansas. His house is also near the Buffalo river in Searcy County, Arkansas, US. The measurements are 5 inches long (12.7 centimeters), 2 1/2 inches wide (6.35 centimeters) I’ve been hanging on to this since I was a kid. I’d be grateful to receive any help identifying what I have! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I am not 100% sure but it looks like it could be a Mammoth tooth that is missing the enamel. Wait for others to chime in. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 My initial knee-jerk response was mammoth tooth, too, but it falls quite short when all the photos are reviewed. The best I can guess is that it's an orthocone naautiloid, but that's not a perfect match either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Way too much going on in too many different directions to be a nautiloid. 1 1 Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
