TSCannon Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) EDIT: Likely just a weird concretion or weathered chunk of rock. 😬Thanks all for the clarification.  Hi all - while looking for Cretaceous fossils, I found some interesting chunks of what I thought might be bone of some kind amongst the piles of white limestone. When I cleaned them up at home, they started to look more and more like a very worn mammoth molar and some other fragments. Can anyone confirm the ID or offer any other info/ideas? Thanks!        IMG_8252.dng IMG_8274.dng IMG_8282.dng IMG_8286.dng IMG_8355.dng IMG_8356.dng IMG_8359.dng Edited March 12 by TSCannon Clarifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Cole Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 These pieces look like concretions and chert to me. I don't see signs of enamel or any of the characteristics associated with mammoth tooth fragments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSCannon Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Thanks all! Just a weird rock. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12  I picked this up the other day here in SE Texas... had it not been for the little bit of enamel at the bottom and the thin line around the back side, I would of thought this was just a rock. Glad you picked it up and asked about it. You never know. This could easily have been passed on if I didn't have the slightest curiosity. Check everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a little silly about this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyvaldez7.jv Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 @TSCannon no need to feel silly. I thought I found a canine the other day... was a deer antler. Waaaay off. I grabbed more than my share of solid cow poo in the water thinking it was something else. Good times. We drive on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
