Recommended Posts

I found this on the beach in Georgetown,South Carolina, USA. The  beach is in the Waccamaw Geological formation  & same area l found other Pleistocene megafauna fossils ( mammoth, bison & horse ). 

This fossil has a toad skin like appearance with row of nodules dividing a semi flat surface & a 45degree angled rough surface. Any help with identifying it is welcome & appreciated.

Mastodon cusp enamel? Looks similar to one I found here in SE Texas.

Seems to be part of a herbivore tooth, possibly rhino, bison, or mastodon
