Rfarmer Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Found this in N Sulphuri River. Front and back photos; second photo of back side is actual size (about an inch long). Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sorry, what you have pictures is not a tooth. There is no enamel present nor any feature that would make me a least consider some type of tooth. It does have a vague general shape of a tooth.

caldigger Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It looks to be a very worn sliver of bone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Wow, that thing is a real trickster. The shape itself looks so much like a tooth and there even is a crack that makes it look like the crown and root arnt the same thing. But again, there is no enamel, and even if the enamel was peeled off, the texture and shape of the "root" isn't right. Like caldigger said, I'll have to suggest some sort of small bone. 15 hours ago, sixgill pete said: There is no enamel present Even though I'm still thinking that this fossil isnt a tooth, you don't always need enamel to id a tooth. Enamel can always be completely peeled off or missing. I have a few teeth with absolutely no enamel. If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
