PRAIRIEBUDDA Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I found this this morning while on the beach south of Venice FL. I suspect it is a Enamel plate from a mammoth tooth. The piece measures approx. 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches by .25 to .50 inches thick. I found a nice complete (almost) mammoth tooth while snorkeling last year very close to the same spot. I also want to thank youall for all your great work identifying so many great finds for everyone. I sure enjoy reading all the posts. I R a newbie, started beach fossiling last winter and have become hopelessly addicted. Headed back to Wisconsin soon, sure going to miss the beach, but determined to hunt up some trilobites (sp?) this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpevahouse Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looks like part of a mammoth molar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I wholeheartedly agree that your find is a 'plate' from a Mammoth tooth.
