Al Dente Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 it looks like a fragment of mammal tooth enamel. Something similar to cow tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this also works for enamel, but I do know it works for bones. Try burning it. If it smells, then it's modern. if it doesn't, then it's probably fossil. When burning modern bone, you also burn the collagen on it, a substance that has a strong smell when you burn it. 1 Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.
