MilesofTx Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would love to know what these teeth are. #6 is unusual. It has an obvious core but a strange texture. The pictures dont show the core, but its there.These were found in a gravel bed in the Brazos River Near Sealy Tx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricFlorida Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 1 through 5 are horse teeth. 6 looks like it could be petrified wood. 7 is difficult to tell what it is, need more pics. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I am clueless, but #6 is very unique. I wish the pictures did it justice.It has a dark black core, but I guess it may be wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i also think 6 is wood. there seems to be a lot of wood in the brazos even that far south of the yegua formation, and occasionally you will find some glassy black wood, even though most of the stuff is yuck brown and won't polish.

mommabetts Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 When I first seen the number 6 I thought wood also but didn't want to say something and be wrong. The others look like horse to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My first thought on #6: pet. wood also.

tracer Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 elaborating a bit on the wood. some wood seems to have been buried late or not in a totally anaerobic environment, and it starts rotting before it mineralizes. your second picture shows a side of the piece where it looks somewhat shrunken and i'm suspecting that the center of it was more or less gone before the mineralization occurred, and it sort of glassed in with more or less pure SIO2 and no cellular structure. the outer part of it kept the wood's cell structure longer and mineralized a bit differently.

kauffy Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 i think the last little one may be a fragment of camel tooth? some closer pics would help, kinda hard to tell...
