Auspex Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Mammoth teeth (I presume that's what these are) cannot remotely be called common; especially a matched set of bookends like this! Are they a local find?

Auspex Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 These aren't "spitters" (worn out teeth that were replaced), and they are so well matched that they may have come from the same animal. If they were found near each other, there may be more of this hose-nose there!

caldigger Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Humm, you'd better send them to me for better scrutiny.

jpc Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I agree with auspex... Two very nice very similar teeth like this suggest that much of tha animal is in the area.
jm1956 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 after about 25 years since i found them i am still looking from time to time going next month
Shellseeker Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Spectacular finds... Next time you attend a fossil show, check out the prices on an unmatched 3rd. The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast"
aplomado Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Humm, you'd better send them to me for better scrutiny. No, no, I can inspect them FAR better than caldigger can.. send them to me...
