I.C. Fossils Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) Hi all, we found these at the beach and I cant find anything comparable in my book. Hoping someone with more experience could have a look. I think the little one could possibly be an incisor and i havent a clue about the larger one. I guess if anything its a decent looking rock. The scale bar is 1cm squared. Looking forward to any feedback Edited March 24 by I.C. Fossils photos not showing up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C. Fossils Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Sorry, here are the photos. I forgot to resize them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 1st piece looks to be possibly a dugong bone fragment.. I think I see growth rings which they typically show...maybe not.. the 2nd fragment is pretty worn and polished and I think its shape is suggestive for an incisor but I think it might rather be a fragment of mammoth or mastodon tooth or maybe even a horse. need to see a closeup of any lines or layering that might be there..I think I see a narrow band of sorts... a real sharp view looking directly down on the end might show something more..I'll let the bone folks chime in as they have more expertise.. Continued hunting success! Regards, Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C. Fossils Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 I appreciate it Chris and thanks for pointing out the lines, I completely missed them. Thats awesome. Here are a few more photos from different angles of the small one, hopefully they are decently clear. It does look like it has some layering to it. One view is from the top looking down and the other two images are from both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Thanks for the additional images. I am sorry but I dont have any better speculations on from whom... I still think it is a very nicely polished tooth fragment.... Regards, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
