DRJENN Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I was agate hunting in Crescent City, CA, at Pebble Beach. I found this tooth. I've been an avid "fossiler" for decades. My usual places are Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, and the Peace River in Florida. I've found numerous types of teeth, Glyptodont scutes, etc. This is my first find in CA. I can't identify the tooth. Seal? Dolphin? Human? I am curious if the root has been agatized to some degree. Any help in identifying what animal this tooth came from is greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellseeker Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 @DRJENN Welcome to TFF, I hope you get to like this forum... So a US dime is about 18 mm. I can figure out doing multiple measurements that your tooth is about 30 mm, but I am in Florida... What if someone in another country wants to help you, but does not have a US dime? Please just measure it and state it in words. Some years back , a very good friend gave me a number of teeth he had found at STH in Bakersville. Those teeth included.... a molar and an incisor.... They seem to have some similarity so I would search the internet for Allodesmus teeth.. @siteseer 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem, you can not edit posts until you reach some # of posts/threads. Not a problem. They will see the measurement you have added...

The elipses to the far right of the post allows the dropdown to access editing. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
