Found Hunting

[bigborealaska]

I found this in the upper Pahsimeroi Valley near Borah peak on the mountain at roughly 8500 feet while hunting in Idaho. The peak is actually called Leatherman Peak. It feels grainy like sand almost and It looks like a tooth, however I can't identify it. The area is known for fossils and I've found several coral and sea related fossils but not sure what this is. Any help is appreciated.

 

The rock fossil is another I found in the same area. I believe it's coral or some type of sea related fossil. Also attached is a rock with shell fossils in the same area.

The second fossil is likely a rugose coral. The odd texture is a mineral form known as beekite. It makes identification somewhat uncertain, however.

The black slab with white fossils look like corals as well. Possibly rugose corals.

Better photos of the first item would be helpful.  These are too blurry when blown up.

 

Try taking them in daylight.  All sides - top, bottom, right, left, front, back.

I think the first is an early shark tooth. Perhaps something like Leonodus.

I don’t see any enamel on it, and I think the root would be weird.

It's in poor condition.

In fact, I think it’s in too poor condition to say anything conclusive.

Thank you all. I don't have any better pis of the large rock it's in The ground although I did mark it on GPS. Here are more detailed photos of the tooth. I noticed when I set it on the granite counter top it sounded like stone.

I guess we can scrap the tooth idea.
