This is what I have come across from the past two days while walking my kids to the river across from my house here in Johnsonburg Pennsylvania. To me they resemble to a very extend what I believe and interpreted as petrified tooth maybe from sharks or other kind of fish but by no mean am I an expert in this field. I am hoping somebody can look at them and give me their opinion on what are they the last picture to me resembles not a tooth but some kind of claw maybe please help.post-18014-0-17199400-1438538458_thumb.jpgpost-18014-0-09241900-1438538480_thumb.jpg

I see the resemblances, but I think they are superficial, and that all are stones worn by Ma Nature into suggestive shapes.

This one is quite a bit younger than the sediments in your area, by about 250 million years. If it is a local find, its presence there is completely inexplicable.

It could have been dropped by someone recently but Indians were known to trade and I am sure a tooth like that would have been thought of greatly by them as it is by people today. More than likely it will be the only one you will ever find in that area.
